In keeping with the general cleanup, I also decided to stop logging image transfers, only logging html, css, rdf/xml content.
I use custom logging that dates back to my efforts to keep NIMDA-infected trash out of my logs.
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.(gif|jpg|png|jpeg)" dontlog
I added this line to my httpd.conf and that seems to do it. Later, I may remove css, js, and rss feed files as well.
If I need to find out images are missing or causing errors, the error log will tell me that.
Of course, this make the bandwidth reporting in webalizer useless, since we’re filtering all that out, but mrtg is picking that up.
I also changed my text-encoding to work around some issues ecto was having with some content. For some reason, some pages were hard-coded to iso-8559-1, so I had to first swap that out for <$MTPublishCharset$>. Then add to mt.cfg:
PublishCharset UTF-8
