    A program that I am working with needs to be able to tail -f the Apache log files on the fly for all my domains.
    tail -f /usr/local/apache/domlogs/* won't work though, because CPanel is putting all the other logs in that folder as well, which I don't want... only the main domain http log.
    Anyone got an idea on how I can sort this out to only parse the proper logs while skipping over the extra crap in there, like the <domain>-bytes_log and <domain>-bytes_log.offset and <domain>-smtpbytes_log files?

    Take a look at the CustomLog directive under each of the VirtualHost containers in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

    By default, the value is:
    CustomLog domlogs/domainname.com combined

    One option would be to change the existing directive to something like:
    CustomLog domlogs/domainname.com.log combined

    Or ... add an additional CustomLog directive to each VirtualHost container pointing and naming the secondary log to whatever you want. If you do this, just keep a watch on resources etc.
