apache hostnamelookups sanity-check
by Seth Vidal 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hey folks, looking at the logs for something today I noticed that our logs are showing hostnames, not ip addresses of the remote hosts. Which is somewhat wasteful since - for the local logs we don't need that extra resolver lookup - and it makes grepping complicated b/c you never know what the dns reverse map is going to look like :( so I was thinking of changing the combined, error and common log format for apache in our configs from using %h (remotehost) to using %a (remote ip) [1] Whle we have hostnamelookups off in all of our configs it appears that using %h overrides (or ignores) that. so - is there anything I'm not thinking about or forgetting that changing the log format from %h to %a will result in? thx -sv 1. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats

Hi My names Emma and I work as a Linux Systems Administrator, based in the UK. I mainly use RHEL/Centos/Fedora. I'd like to join this group and further my skills. I've worked for a few years as a System Admin, and I'm able to script using bash/perl/python. I'm a bit weaker with my python skills, so it would be nice if I could further my knowledge a bit in this area. I know a moderate amount of sql as well. I'm familiar with mysql, nagios, ldap, dns, sendmail, virtualization( xen and kvm) Hopefully I can be of some use. :) Emma
