t-based middleman daemon with configurable conns, or connect/disconnect. * ignore by cookie CHANGES: 1.18: * Delayed inserts (a MySQL extension) are now available at compile-time. THIS IS UGLY because there seems to be a bug in the way MySQL returns errors on failed INSERT DELAYED queries. See the FAQ. * Reworked the Makefile a tad. * Added stdlib.h to the includes, some systems need it for atoi(). Added string.h to the includes just to be safe. * Reworked table creation (again). Inserts are attempted and tables are made only on ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE. This should solve all the multiple- creation-attempt issues as well as reduce overhead. * safe_mysql_query reworked; it now can be counted on to preserve_entry() if the query doesn't succeed. [Before, preserve_entry() was called separately.] * Always reset SIGPIPE to handler before leaving safe_mysql_query(). * New directive LogSQLRequestAccept, another filter for excluding things from being logged. * Alphabetized the directives in the reference section of the docs. * New format char 'a' lets one log the request arguments, i.e. the part of a CGI request after the ? character. Also put a column for this in the create_tables.sql file. Thanks to Dave Wilson for this. * Reorganized the FAQ by section. * Renamed global variables (e.g. tcp_port -> logsql_tcpport) throughout the code in order to ensure against naming conflicts. tcp_port, in particular, seemed to be causing problems / segfaults on certain systems. * Renamed safe_mysql_query() to safe_sql_query(). * Now check for minimum configuration info to establish db link and log an error if it's insufficient. 1.17: * Renamed the module mod_log_sql to conform to the project goal of database-inspecificity. * Added capability of logging Notes field. This is useful for folks using custom modules that provide loggable info in the notes, e.g. mod_gzip. A new directive LogSQLWhichNotes configures which notes to log to the notes_log table. * Added capability of logging inbound and outbound headers. New directives LogSQLWhichHeadersIn and LogSQLWhichHeadersOut configure which headers to capture. Headers are stored in their own table or tables. * Fixed potential segfault in preserve file function due to silly pfclose placement. (Only affected user if the preserve file couldn't be opened.) * Changed default socket file to /tmp/mysql.sock because that's the default on a compiled MySQL. * Put back-quotes (`) around table name so that names with dashes are legal. * Took away the prepend of /tmp to the preserve filename. Now the user can specify whatever local path they want. I figure that filesystem permissions will prevent people from doing anything really dumb, and people have requested this change. * Better checking in the extract_cookie routine. Before, it could segfault if a person specified "c" but didn't define MySQLWhichCookie. * Some code reorg/renaming for clarity and to support the new direction of database inspecificity. More to come. * Simplified error messages. * Table creation now uses safe_mysql_query and checks the result. * Config directives used to begin with MySQL, now begin with LogSQL. This is for database inspecificity. In your httpd.conf just do a search-and-replace. * More robust table-creation code with error checking. [The race condition that several users have reported may still exist, but this will go a long way toward debugging the condition.] * Fixed bug whereby a MySQL connection was abandoned on reopen; the old connection is now properly closed first. * Minor: remind user not to set createtables when massvirtual is on. * If Apache started but MySQL was unavailable, the module would do everything it was supposed to (preserve entries, etc.) but not notify the sysadmin. Added a log message to alert sysadmin if MySQL is unreachable at startup. * New config key 'I' to extract & log unique_id, provided by mod_unique_id. unique_id is the key that links separate tables (access, notes, etc.) * Migrated to the Artistic License (as used by Perl). * Moved table creation into its own callable function * Robustifying table creation * In make_combined_log.pl, backtick-quoted the table name and added an order-by clause within the select statement. * TCP port number for db connection is now configurable using LogSqlTCPPort * New directive LogSQLForcePreserve sends all log entries directly to the preserve file and *entirely bypasses* the db. Useful for debugging, but can be dangerous if you forget it's set! * Table names are now quoted in all cases with backticks in order to permit names containing dashes (since many hostnames contain dashes). * The request_method field is now created as a varchar(10) instead of (6), after it was pointed out to me that some methods can be longer than 6. * New directive LogSQLMachineID sets a string identifier for the webserver machine. This is useful if you have a cluster of many webservers and you want to differentiate between them in the logs: you can tell which log entries came from each machine and thereby analyze your loadbalacing performance. Activate with the TransferLogFormat character 'M'. Much faster than doing some sort of wacky IP addr lookup via local_addr(). * Added an alternative way of logging cookies. If you need to associate multiple cookies with each request, the new way involves using LogSQLWhichCookies (note the plural) and LogSQLCookieLogTable. * Removed LogSQLRefererIgnore references, since it was never actually activated anyway and the idea probably was of minimal value. 1.16: * Moved all the user DEFINEs inside the .c file -- splitting them between the C and the Makefile was getting just too cumbersome. * A new MySQLPreserveFile runtime config directive. In the last version the name of the preserve-file was hardcoded and therefore global across all Apache virtual servers. Now the user can configure this on a per-virthost basis. It defaults to a hardcoded value if the user does not define it. The module *always* prepends /tmp/ to the user-supplied value for security reasons. * A new MySQLSocketFile runtime config directive. In the last version the name of the MySQL socket was hardcoded. Now the user can configure this at Apache runtime. However, it is a global setting (set once) just like the rest of the actual database info is. It defaults to a hardcoded value if the user does not define it. * A new MySQLCreateTables runtime config directive. Module can now create the access table on-the-fly. Table creation takes place during the virtual server's first request and is flagged after that to avoid repetition. * A new MySQLMassVirtualHosting runtime config directive. This flag currently only activates a single feature: each virtual server gets its very own dynamically-determined table prefixed 'access_' with the server's name following. It also implies MySQLCreateTables On, and obviates the need for MySQLTransferLogTable. * escape_query (was mysql_escape_log) is now called on every item rather than first checking to see if it needs to be called, which was probably a big waste of time. Furthermore the routine now uses a native MySQL API call to do the escaping instead of doing this 'manually.' It attempts to use the charset-respectful MySQL call first, but falls back on a more generic call if the MySQL server is unavailable (e.g. if it goes offline). * Open preserve file with pfopen instead of regular fopen to take advantage of pool structure. * As forewarned, I finally got rid of the code to support separate Referer and Agent logs. * Finally brought the make process up-to-date with the way Apache likes modules to be done. * MySQLWhichCookie is now configurable on a per-virtualserver basis. Before it was single-shot global only. * Reduced sleep time on a retry to 1/4 second from 1/2 second. * Confirmed that this module will compile with -pedantic ... but not with -ansi. :-) 1.15: * Vastly improved error reporting is a lot clearer about lost db connections, etc. Some unreachable code has been corrected. * The way that query-retries and openlink-retries are handled has been tweaked and improved. * Missed database entries are now preserved for later inclusion. This file is not held open but is closed after each use, so it's safe to delete while Apache is running. * Now each child instantiates its MySQL link upon birth rather than waiting for its first request. 1.14: * Improved the apxs instructions based on user feedback, including the mysql.sock define issue. * Corrected the INSTALL example directives to the new format. * Some improvements to 'make distro' 1.13: * Now use ap_get_server_name() in extract_virtual_host() to fix the instances where mass-virtual-hosting sites were getting the wrong server-name written to the log. * Now use mysql_real_connect() instead of mysql_connect(). The latter's use was deprecated and did not work in MySQL 4. * There is now a DEFINE for the socket name. This is used by the mysql_real_connect() function and is relevant only if the db resides on localhost. It is irrelevant if the db resides on a networked machine and is ignored in that case (although it still must be defined for the connect to work). 1.12: * Added a mysql_close() call to get rid of those annoying MySQL complaints every time an httpd child process terminates. (Apache 1.3 or later.) * Considerable code reorganization and cleanup. 1.11: * Completely re-worked the cookie code. Now the user can instruct mod_log_mysql which cookie (out of many available) to log. (See the online directives documentation and FAQ.) * New config capability: 'H' to log the request protocol (e.g. HTTP/1.1) * New config capability: 'm' to log the request method (e.g. GET, PUT, etc.) * New config capabilities: 'z' 'q' & 'Q' to log SSL_CIPHER, SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE and SSL_CIPHER_ALGKEYSIZE. These require openssl and glibc-devel to be installed. (See the online directives documentation and FAQ.) * Fixed a bug in make_combined_log.pl that caused it to generate incorrect output on single-digit days. * Fixed make_combined_log.pl to use the data logged by 'H' and 'm'. * Migrated all log_error calls to the newer ap_log_error call. * Added a DEBUG define to activate certain debugging/informational error-log messages (for devel purposes). * I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause: I decided to rename the runtime configuration directives so that they would make more sense and group together with a "MySQL" prefix. They are now: MySQLRefererLogTable The MySQL table that holds the referer log MySQLAgentLogTable The MySQL table that holds the agent log MySQLTransferLogTable The MySQL table that holds the transfer log MySQLTransferLogFormat Instruct the module what information to log to the MySQL transfer log MySQLRefererIgnore List of referers to ignore, accesses that match will not be logged to MySQL MySQLRequestIgnore List of URIs to ignore, accesses that match will not be logged to MySQL MySQLRemhostIgnore List of remote hosts to ignore, accesses that match will not be logged to MySQL MySQLDatabase The name of the MySQL database for logging MySQLWhichCookie The CookieName that you want logged when using the 'c' config directive MySQLLoginInfo The MySQL host, user-id and password for logging You'll need to just do a search-and-replace in your httpd.conf... Again, I'm sorry, but it really is better this way. * Cleaned up the summaries that get output on "httpd -L" * Expanded the enclosed access_log.sql file to support every column type that mod_log_mysql provides -- delete the ones that you don't need. * Some cleanup of the Makefile - pay attention to the settings * Made the MySQLTransferLogFormat default "AbHhmRSsTUuv" to incorporate the new column types and sort the characters alphabetically for reading ease. 1.10: * New config directive/capability: 'c' to log mod_usertrack cookies. * Some code cleanup and commenting. * Referer and User-Agent now set to want_orig=1 ( a very minor detail ) * Corrected mysql_escape_log to properly check for and escape strings with `dangerous' characters. It appears that it was doing this incorrectly before. * Deleted log_mysql_child(), a function that was never called. 1.09: * If the MySQL INSERT causes an error, we re-try that INSERT after a short 1/2-second sleep just to make sure it wasn't due to a network glitch or other gremlin. * Made the default log format: huSUsbTvRA. This provides everything required to reproduce Combined Log Format data. 1.08: * Now log a single '-' (instead of a zero-length string) when User-Agent is blank. This is similar to what Apache does in its own logs. (Should have caught this when I did the same thing for Referer.) * Separated documentation into README, INSTALL, CHANGELOG, etc. as appropriate. 1.07: * Renamed TransferIgnore directive to RequestIgnore, since that's really a more specific and accurate description of what that directive means. * Now log a single '-' (instead of a zero-length string) when Referer is blank. This is similar to what Apache does in its own logs. 1.06: * Added 'R' and 'A' options to TransferLogMySQLFormat so that we now can log Referer and Agent respectively. * Code cleanup: all compilation warnings are now gone, even with -Wall. (They were mainly "const" issues that needed straightening up.) * Added RemhostIgnore configuration directive to permit non-logging of any request coming from a specific host, e.g. a local network machine, etc. * Now use the non-obsolete ap_compat.h headerfile instead of compat.h. This simply gets rid of a compilation warning, nothing more. * Now include a headerfile (http_log.h) that was missing. Its absence was giving us this warning message: "implicit declaration of function `ap_log_error_old'." * For numerics that Apache customarily logs as a "-" we now log a zero instead of a -1. This seems to be more intuitive, e.g. in the "bytes_sent" column. * We now have a Makefile and a full "make" process that does all the real work. * New maintainer. 1.05: * Removed some redundant code, after being noted by Vivek Khera that this code doesn't even get called with the current apache code. It can be done in apache 1.3, but it works ok without it anyway. * Added the necessary include file to make the module compile under Apache 1.3b6. I haven't actually tested that it works, though. indent'd the code. 1.04: * Rearranged some code to allow for a successful apache 1.3beta compilation. Please note that this is *untested*, I only got it to compile, I haven't actually tried to run apache 1.3. 1.03: * Changed the check for 'mysql server has gone away' to be case insensitive, so that it works with MySQL 3.21 * Changed the behavior so that a link isn't established until it's necessary (e.g., if SQL logging is used for one virtual IP, a link won't be opened until there's an access to that IP). 1.02: * Managed to track down that segmentation fault that occured once, and fixed it. No known bugs now exist. 1.01: * Segmentation fault in case of certain parameters lacking fixed. * Worked around the SIGPIPE signal that's sent in certain events from * mysql_query().
