Synopsis

AgentLog file-pipe
AgentLog logs/agent_log
Server config, virtual host
Not in Apache v2

The AgentLog directive sets the name of the file to which the server will log the User-Agent header of incoming requests. file-pipe is one of the following:

A filename 
A filename relative to the ServerRoot. 
"| <command>"

This is a program to receive the agent log information on its standard input. Note that a new program will not be started for a VirtualHost if it inherits the AgentLog from the main server.

Warning

If a program is used, then it will be run under the user who started httpd. This will be root if the server was started by root; be sure that the program is secure.

Also, see the Apache security tips document discussed in Chapter 11 for details on why your security could be compromised if the directory where log files are stored is writable by anyone other than the user that starts the server.

This directive is provided for compatibility with NCSA 1.4.
