Want to split my log files in real time for one site

[smiddy]

I have a site that is dual purpose. Half of the site gets a lot of requests out of a certain folder (forum) and the other half of the site gets requests for static information from everywhere. Is there a way to get to access log files realtime? One for the forum and one for the static requests. The forum requests would be out of one folder under the root, while everything else would be logged elsewhere.

Yes, do some reading on setting environment variables based on the path of the request and then log directives based on those env's.

Here are a couple of lines from one of my sites.
They exclude logging of livehelp requests.

SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/livehelp.*$" dontlog
CustomLog /home/gg/log/httpd-access.log combined env=!dontlog

You would need a pair of such statements, one excluding the other's dirs.

So these statements could be put together under the same virtual server statement? Just different names for the log?

Also, one directory is a parent of the other.?

You can combine them any way you want and apply to any paths.
