This case will help you to log to apache server any traffic coming from the load balancer, proxy or any IDS.
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i"" combined LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i"" proxy
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For "^.*..*..*..*" forwarded
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access_log combined env=!forwarded
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access_log proxy env=forwarded
The default location of apache log files on ubuntu server apache2 installation is:
/var/www/apache2/access.log
in order to view the log file contents you can use any of the following commands:
displays the whole contents of the log file
cat /var/www/apache2/access.log
shows the contents from the end of access.log file and wait to display any additional logs appended to the end of the file
tail -f /var/www/apache2/access.log
displays the last 100 mb of the apache2 log file
tail -c 104857600 /var/log/apache2/access.log
If you would like to extract the last 100 mb of the log file to some other file, you can achieve this by executing the command:
tail -c 204857600 /var/log/apache2/access_sacoffice_log > log.log
After this, you can download the log file and check the logs ! :)
