Apache LogFormat

[Amin Taheri]

How do you set apache to log the httpd PID ?

I tried using the %p and %P and I didn't see the process listed on the access_logs though.

I adeded To the log format section

LogFormat "%P" process

I also tried

LogFormat "%p %P %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

and restarted httpd each time but I don't see any change in the access logs for the vhosts in what it logs. Did I not do it correctly?

Hi,

%P incudes the process ID of the child that serviced the request to log file but in your case it might not work because of the following reason:
1. Plesk defines global log format that will be used for all virtual hosts and assigns nickname 'plesklog' to this log format:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" plesklog

this is defined in /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz010_psa_httpd.conf

2. For every virtual host in its httpd.include Plesk then defines custom log and points that it will use log format defined with nickname 'plesklog':
CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN_NAME/statistics/logs/access_log plesklog

so it does not matter what Log format you define - virtual hosts will still use 'plesklog' format.

You can try defining you custom log format with any nickname in httpd.conf file and then redefine CustomLog directive with your log format nickname in vhost.conf.

Hope this helps.
