# split-logfile(8)

Split combined virtual hosts access log into one file per virtual host

## NAME

split-logfile - Split combined virtual hosts access log into one file per virtual host

## SYNOPSIS

**split-logfile** \< *logfile*

## SUMMARY

This script will take a combined Web server access log file and break its contents into separate files. It assumes that the first field of each line is the virtual host identity (put there by "%v"), and that the logfiles should be named that+".log" in the current directory.

The combined log file is read from stdin. Records read will be appended to any existing log files.

## EXAMPLES

split-logfile \< /var/log/apache2/other\_vhosts\_access.log
