    <h2>Summary</h2>

    <p>This module is provided strictly for compatibility with NCSA
    httpd, and is deprecated. We recommend you use <a
    href="mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a> instead.</p>

    <p>The AgentLog directive sets the name of the file to which
    the server will log the UserAgent header of incoming requests.
    <em>File-pipe</em> is one of</p>

    <dl>
      <dt>A filename</dt>

      <dd>A filename relative to the <a
      href="core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a>.</dd>

      <dt>`|' followed by a command</dt>

      <dd>A program to receive the agent log information on its
      standard input. Note the a new program will not be started
      for a VirtualHost if it inherits the AgentLog from the main
      server.</dd>
    </dl>
    <strong>Security:</strong> if a program is used, then it will
    be run under the user who started httpd. This will be root if
    the server was started by root; be sure that the program is
    secure. 

    <p><strong>Security:</strong> See the <a
    href="../misc/security_tips.html">security tips</a> document
    for details on why your security could be compromised if the
    directory where logfiles are stored is writable by anyone other
    than the user that starts the server.</p>

    <p>This directive is provided for compatibility with NCSA
    1.4. The same result can be obtained by using the <a
    href="mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a> and <a
    href="mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a> directives as
    shown in the following example:</p>

<pre>
    LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
    CustomLog logs/agent_log agent
</pre>
