apache log files to ignore specific IP Address?

[vbsaltydog]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way to tell apache to not record events from a specific IP Address in the access logs? I like the detail of reading the log files directly vs. using a log file stats program like AWSTATS but I would like it if the logs files were not recording info from my IP Address. I am on the same subnet as the web server if that makes any difference.

Thanks to all.

This is another case where The CustomLog directive, along with SetEnvIf comes in handy.

See this recent related thread [webmasterworld.com].

You'd just need to test for REMOTE_ADDR instead of REQUEST_URI. You could write your own IP's log entries to /dev/null
