I am in the process of setting up a web log analizer for my apache web server which is installed on a Sun Microsystems RAQ550

My issue is that I need to adjust the intervals at which the Web Access logs are written to, and I've never attempted to do this before. I have several virtual sites that I want to analyze log files from and I want all new web requests written to web.daily every 2 minutes.

I have browsed through the Apache online documentation and plan to do more searching. If anyone has an answer for me that would cut my research short I would really apprectiate it.

Thank you,

Jnovak

There are several already written programs to analyze weblogs (and/or ftp logs written in the weblog style).

Webalizer is one of them (source/binaries forr multiple platform):

Take a look at the download page as well. There's a (small) 'related project' section, among other things.

To answer the question about the 'write every 2 minutes', I don't think that's possible. The logging is (near) real-time.

You can however manipulate who takes care of the actual logging. Piping it to a self written script/program is possible:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/logs.html#errorlog
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#errorlog

Damn..... I should read better, you're using 1.3. Here are the 1.3 versions, they are almost the same.
