Li,
Thanks for the reply.
As indicated in your illustration, in your case the remote IP address (IP of
the client browser) is correctly displaying.
But in my case, for some reason even when my website is accessed remotely it
always shows local IP Address (the website's IP address) and not the remote IP
address.
In other words
%a %A %h is translating *always* to
127.0.0.1
68.120.115.43
127.0.0.1
Where 68.120.115.43 is the IP address of the website host and not the client
(remote host).
The website is hosted on a Tomcat 5.5 which is configured as a virtual host. I
wonder if the virtual host setting might be the cause for not logging the
actual remote IP address.
If I can't get Access Log Valve to log the remote IP address then I might have
to try it with Log4J with Commons Logging to log the remote IP address I guess.
-Regards
Rashmi

Subject: Re: Is it possible to log IP Address of requestor with custom
AccessLogValve pattern?
what you defined is correct ... a simpler way is using default setting
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
prefix="your-site-access-log-"
suffix=".log"
pattern="common"
resolveHosts="false"/>
the result should be
(if you are testing from same host)
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2006:18:54:48 +0800] "GET /site/ HTTP/1.1" 200 306
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2006:18:54:48 +0800] "GET /site/Welcome.do HTTP/1.1"
200 1775
(if your user testing from remote host)
202.110.6.23 - - [18/Oct/2006:19:03:44 +0800] "GET /site/Welcome.do
HTTP/1.1" 200 8893
...
