[Idea] Add variable support for SecAuditLog

[Xakiadalisabad]

I would like to provide a log file separately for each user and their website. Is there a chance to do this using variables SecAuditLog?

Hi @Xakiadalisabad,

have you tried to put the directive into the vhost context where you want to have an own audit.log?

You didn't mention what version you use. If you use Apache, you can do:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ...
    SecAuditLog /var/log/nginx/other-vhost-modsec_audit.log
    ...

</VirtualHost>

If you use libmodsecurity3 and Nginx, you can try:

server {
    ...
    modsecurity_rules '
        SecAuditLog /var/log/nginx/other-vhost-modsec_audit.log
    ';

}

If you use Apache, you can automate things with mod_macro, like
<Macro VHostName $name>
ServerName $name
SecAuditLog /var/log/httpd/audit_$name.log
[...]

@Xakiadalisabad could we close this issue?
