Also you can configure Apache to log the value of the
session cookie (if you're using session cookies --
LogFormat "%{JSESSIONID}C..."), which includes the lb
route so that you even know which instance of Tomcat
took the request.

... and finally once we release the next mod_jk version (soon), there is even more info from the load balancer worker available for logging in the usual Apache access log. Information available includes the target worker chosen by the load balancer, it's load values, error states etc.

One reason for additional access logging in tomcat would be, if you've got performance problems and want to measure response times directly in the web container.

Another reason with mod_jk including the latest officially released: you've got session problems and want to track, which container instance your request went to. Using the Cookie in the apache access logs is OK, but in case the load balancer has a worker in error state, you wont recognize, that the requests haven't been handled sticky.

If apache is serving all the traffic - then tomcat
doesn't need to record any access logs. (Unless you need monitor how much load went to each tomcat) Apache will have every request. If you combine the logs - you would double count some of your requests.

Hello,

for a project I had to set up an environment with

Apache2, mod_jk and 2 Tomcat

instances. Apache2 / mod_jk will route requests to

Tomcat1 and Tomcat2 (load

balancing).

How can I install a log analysis tool like AWstats

into this environment?

I mean which log files should I use, Apache2-log,

Tomcat1-log or Tomcat2-log?

Can I combine them all together?
