[mod_python] Processing Apache Logs

WELL???
 
Are there no answers to this question?

	OK, I got some custom logging to a database working and I can
pretty much capture anything generated by "normal" Apache logging
except... I don't see any equivalent to the Apache directive like
LogFormat "%T %D" where %T and %D are the respective times to serve the
HTTP requests in seconds and microseconds.
	 
	Is there any reason the PythonLogHandler doesn't pick this up
from the Apache logging phase? Am I stuck because there's "no way to get
there from here?"
	 
	Please advise and TIA! TIA! TIA! ...

		Yes, we're actually using it in a limited way. It's
pretty good but our data warehouse needs to be in Oracle. Currently we
use mod_sql to capture the data into MySQL then copy subsets of data to
Oracle. 
		 
		I was looking at mod_python's access to the Apache
internals and it looks like the various attributes (members) of the
request, connection, and server objects would contain everything needed
to capture the Apache log data (and more?) so I'm thinking the
PythonLogHandler could be used to get this data and put it into a
database as mentioned in the ONLamp Python DevCenter article,
(http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2003/10/02/mod_python.html). 
		 
		Quote:

			"Mod_python provides the ability to register for
any phase and write the processing function in Python. This is a very
powerful feature, because it opens the door for many innovative and
exciting ways to use Apache. For example, you can write Python code to
do authentication processing or custom logging (perhaps sending logs to
a database while maintaining real-time statistics)."

		This is all new to me and I need an example to get
started with the PythonLogHandler. So... it would be nice to have a
quick and dirty example to backup the claim in the article.  :-)

[mod_python] Processing Apache Logs	

		




			The ONLamp "Introducing mod_python" article
mentions the possibility of
			doing custom Apache logging with mod_python and
inserting log data
			directly to a database. Are there any examples
of this or has anyone on
			this list done such a thing? Any guidance or
suggestions?
			
			I'm looking at building a data warehouse from
the Apache log output. The
			web apps on the load balanced web servers to be
monitored do not use any
			Python code. Are there 3rd party (non-Pythonic
perhaps) log parser apps
			I should look at instead of cutting my own
mod_python code?
