LTSV style access log in tomcat

LTSV + fluentd is nice

LTSV is "Labeled Tab-separated Values", http://ltsv.org/.

A typical access log of Apache is like:

127.0.0.1 - frank [10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700] "GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0" 200 2326 "http://www.example.com/start.html" "Mozilla/4.08 [en] (Win98; I ;Nav)"

In LTSV, it will be:

host:127.0.0.1<TAB>ident:-<TAB>user:frank<TAB>time:[10/Oct/2000:13:55:36 -0700]<TAB>req:GET /apache_pb.gif HTTP/1.0<TAB>status:200<TAB>size:2326<TAB>referer:http://www.example.com/start.html<TAB>ua:Mozilla/4.08 [en] (Win98; I ;Nav)

Very handleable if using fluentd.

LTSV for access log of tomcat

We can define the pattern of access log with with Value element of server.xml. In detail, see this link http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Access_Log_Valve.

We have to write the pattern in attribute of Value element. So if you use tomcat, how do you define your server.xml?

Then use entity &#9; like:

<Value ...
  pattern="host:%h&amp;#9;ident:%l&amp;#9;user:%u" />

You will get access logs like:

host:127.0.0.1<TAB>ident:-<TAB>user:frank
