= Clogger - configurable request logging for Rack

* http://clogger.rubyforge.org/
* mailto:clogger@librelist.com

== DESCRIPTION

Clogger is Rack middleware for logging HTTP requests.  The log format
is customizable so you can specify exactly which fields to log.

== FEATURES

* highly customizable with easy-to-read nginx-like log format variables.

* pre-defines Apache Common Log Format, Apache Combined Log Format and
  Rack::CommonLogger (as distributed by Rack 1.0) formats.

* Untrusted values are escaped (all HTTP headers, request URI components)
  to make life easier for HTTP log parsers. The following bytes are escaped:

    ' (single quote)
    " (double quote)
    all bytes in the range of \x00-\x1f

== SYNOPSIS

Clogger may be loaded as Rack middleware in your config.ru:

  require "clogger"
  use Clogger,
      :format => Clogger::Format::Combined,
      :logger => File.open("/path/to/log", "ab")
  run YourApplication.new

If you're using Rails 2.3.x or later, in your config/environment.rb
somewhere inside the "Rails::Initializer.run do |config|" block:

  config.middleware.use 'Clogger',
      :format => Clogger::Format::Combined,
      :logger => File.open("/path/to/log", "ab")

== VARIABLES

* $http_* - HTTP request headers (e.g. $http_user_agent)
* $sent_http_* - HTTP response headers (e.g. $sent_http_content_length)
* $cookie_* - HTTP request cookie (e.g. $cookie_session_id)
  Rack::Request#cookies must have been used by the underlying application
  to parse the cookies into a hash.
* $request_method - the HTTP request method (e.g. GET, POST, HEAD, ...)
* $path_info - path component requested (e.g. /index.html)
* $query_string - request query string (not including leading "?")
* $request_uri - the URI requested ($path_info?$query_string)
* $request - the first line of the HTTP request
  ($request_method $request_uri $http_version)
* $request_time, $request_time{PRECISION} - time taken for request
  (including response body iteration).  PRECISION defaults to 3
  (milliseconds) if not specified but may be specified 0(seconds) to
  6(microseconds).
* $time_local, $time_local{FORMAT} - current local time, FORMAT defaults to
  "%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z" but accepts any strftime(3)-compatible format
* $time_utc, $time_utc{FORMAT} - like $time_local, except with UTC
* $usec - current time in seconds.microseconds since the Epoch
* $msec - current time in seconds.milliseconds since the Epoch
* $body_bytes_sent - bytes in the response body (Apache: %B)
* $response_length - body_bytes_sent, except "-" instead of "0" (Apache: %b)
* $remote_user - HTTP-authenticated user
* $remote_addr - IP of the requesting client socket
* $ip - X-Forwarded-For request header if available, $remote_addr if not
* $pid - process ID of the current process
* $e{Thread.current} - Thread processing the request
* $e{Actor.current} - Actor processing the request (Revactor or Rubinius)

== REQUIREMENTS

* Ruby, Rack

== DEVELOPMENT

The latest development happens in git and is published to the following:

   git://rubyforge.org/clogger.git
   git://git.bogomips.org/mirrors/clogger.git

You may also browse and download snapshot tarballs:

* http://clogger.rubyforge.org/git?p=clogger.git (gitweb)
* http://git.bogomips.org/cgit/mirrors/clogger.git (cgit)

The mailing list (see below) is central for coordination and
development.  Patches should always be sent inline
(git format-patch -M + git send-email) so we can reply to them inline.

== CONTACT

All feedback (bug reports, user/development dicussion, patches, pull
requests) go to the mailing list.

* mailto:clogger@librelist.com

Do not send HTML mail or attachments.  Do not top post.

== INSTALL

For all Rubygems users:

  gem install clogger

If you're using MRI 1.8/1.9 and have a build environment, you can also try:

  gem install clogger_ext

If you do not use Rubygems, you may also use setup.rb from tarballs from
the Rubyforge project page:
