    Strange as I cannot figure out why the server is doing this -
    I see them in the apache logs but cannot figure what is doing the calling

    cPanel/Enkompass Access Level

    DataCenter Provider

    Default only happens on 2.2 apache

    ok - it only happens on apache 2.2
    Also -watching this - it seems it might be related to the way WHM now shows the server load.
    in WHM i think it is pulling as local - thus 127.0.0.1

    I read this in another posting online and it works



    Okay solved it.

    For anyone interested in this, here's what I did:

    1 -- Backed up the httpd.conf file.

    2 -- Pico-ed into the httpd.conf file and scrolled down to the LogFormat section.

    3 -- You will see a section that starts with this:

    <IfModule log_config_module>
    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

    CustomLog logs/access_log common

    Just change the CustomLog line, and enter a new line just above it. So your final will look like this:


    <IfModule log_config_module>
    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
    LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common

    SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "127\.0\.0\.1" exclude_from_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common env=!exclude_from_log



    4 -- Restart Apache and now you should see no such entires when tailing /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log

    Please note, that on one of our servers I had to use the following line instead, because the localhost entries were starting with ::1 rather than 127.0.0.1

    SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "\:\:1" exclude_from_log


    Also note ---> If you try this and it screws something up (it shouldn't), I take absolutely no responsibility. Again, be sure to backup your httpd.conf file before doing ANY work with this.
    This removed the entries from the whm apache status as well as the logs.
    Its nice not having the logs so large for something so silly.

    Default

    I think they are “Apache (internal dummy connection)”. These "Dummy connections" are used internally by apache to destroy child processes.
