SOLVED EasyApache master/custom/global access log

[luis_h]

Hello

I have tried to reply on this thread but I couldn't because it's too old.
I'm trying to create a "master" apache access log file, and also keep individual log files.

Following the instructions, I could set up a "master access log file" and it works ok. But unfortunately, the individual log files are not being generated anymore.

I have read some mention about this here (by @cPanelMichael ) but I could not understand what should I do to have all logs working.

I'm using EasyApache4 and piped logs.

The code that I have updated at /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local

...........

LogFormat "%V %a %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\"" vcommon
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/vhost-access_log vcommon

</VirtualHost>

and then executed:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sorry, i forget the link on the mention:

Hello @luis_h,

I believe the user-submitted information on the following thread should help you get this setup:

SOLVED - Global Log

Let me know if this works.

Thank you.

Thank you @cPanelMichael

After some tests, here is the entire configuration that I have used to make this work:

cp -a /var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4/ea4_main.default /var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4/ea4_main.local

Edit /var/cpanel/templates/apache2_4/ea4_main.local

I have inserted the code, in the section <IfModule mod_log_config.c>

LogFormat "%V %a %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\"" mycustom
CustomLog /etc/apache2/logs/combined_apache_accesslog mycustom

Just on the end of the section, above the existing lines:

CustomLog "|/usr/local/cpanel/bin/splitlogs --dir=[% paths.dir_domlogs %] --main=[% wildcard_safe(servername) %] --mainout=[% paths.file_access_log %][% splitlogsextra %]"$
</IfModule>

After, rebuild and restart apache.

And was just this, only two lines of code. I did not need to use the file: /var/cpanel/templates/apache2/vhost.local
I works for both, non-ssl and ssl access.

I forgot to mention, that I have activated the log rotation, using the WHM gui, at
Home »Service Configuration »Apache Configuration »Log Rotation

WHM automatically recognized the log file at the logs list.
