DESCRIPTION
    This module replicates the functionality of the standard Apache
    module, mod_log_config, but logs information in a DBI-compliant
    database instead of a file.

LIST OF TOKENS
    DBILogConfig_data_source
        A DBI data source with a format of "DBI::driver:database"

    DBILogConfig_username
        Username passed to the database driver when connecting

    DBILogConfig_password
        Password passed to the database driver when connecting

    DBILogConfig_table
        Table in the database for logging

    DBILogConfig_log_format
        A string consisting of formats seperated by white space that
        define the data to be looged (see FORMATS below)

FORMATS
    A format consists of a string with the following syntax:

    %[conditions][{parameter}]format=field

  format

    Formats specify the type of data to be logged. The following
    formats are accepted:

    b Bytes sent
    f Filename
    e Environment variable (specified by parameter)
    h Remote host
    a Remote IP Address
    i Header in the client request (specified by parameter)
    l Remote log name (from identd)
    n Contents of a note from another module (specified by parameter)
    o Header from the reply (specified by parameter)
    p Server port
    P Apache child PID
    r First line of the request
    s Request status
    t Time in common log format (default) or strftime() (parameter)
    T Time taken to serve request
    u Remote user from auth
    U URL
    v Server hostname
  field

    A database column to log the data to

  parameter

    For formats that take a parameter

    Example: %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}e

  conditions

    Conditions are a comma-seperated list of status codes. If the
    status of the request being logged equals one of the status
    codes in the condition the data specified by the format will be
    logged. By placing a '!' in front of the conditions, data will
    be logged if the request status does not match any of the
    conditions.

    Example: %!200,304,302s=status will log the status of all
    requests that did not return some sort of normal status

DEBUGGING
    Debugging statements will be written to the error log if
    LOGLEVEL is set to 'warn' or higher
