Excluding String from access log

I need to exclude below string (as an example) from access log. Is
there a way I can use CustomLog and do that?

[Wed Sep 09 13:20:47 2009] [info] [client 10.4.1.41] Connection closed
to child 4 with abortive shutdown (server )

[Wed Sep 09 13:20:47 2009] [info] [client 28.20.40.241] Connection to
child 1 established (server)

This looks like an ErrorLog. You could write a simple script to
discard these messages and write your error logs via the piped logging
mechanism, if simply filtering them out during some post-processing
isn't sufficient.

Re: Excluding String from access log

These go as "info" in access log

It's pretty unusual for error log entries to end up in your access
log. Is that what you're actually claiming? We could already see that
they were "info" level.

These are two distinctly different log files.

Re: Excluding String from access log

All I want is to remove that "info" message from the access log. So
basically I don't want to see that in access or error log

read this : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#loglevel

You can stop all [info] messages from appearing in the error log.
As to the access log, these messages should anyway not appear there,
unless you did something stupid like point both access log and error log
to the same file.

Apart from that, Apache is open source, and you are welcome to download
the source, modify it, and remove any kind of message from the logs that
you want.

What other people here are trying to tell you (but you don't seem to
want to listen) is that for this kind of thing, it is easier to "filter"
your logfiles after the fact, using a separate script.
Or filtering them in real-time, by piping them through your own filter.

See for example here (the section "pipe") :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html#cus tomlog
