Changes to FPM Access and Apache Access Log Formatting

On Monday, 19 November 2018, Acquia is changing the formats for FPM Access and Apache Access logs on Acquia Cloud.

What is changing?

The FPM Access log will have the following additional information at the end of the log entry:

duration_ms=34.873 request_id="v-b0ab0f2e-b6cf-11e8-ba96-0ac2f11f7118"

• duration_ms denotes the time taken to serve the request by PHP-FPM in milliseconds

• request_id  correlates to the request_id used in other log files such as apache access, nginx access, varnish access.

The apache access log will have the following at the end of the log entry:
 

location="http://apachelogtest01.example.com/"

• location corresponds to location in the contents of the location http header.

How is my application impacted by this change?

If your application uses Log forwarding to push logs to a third party logging service, the log format change may require you to make adjustments to your logging service configuration to accommodate these changes. Alternatively, if your site utilizes custom scripts to parse log files, you may also be impacted by this change
