<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Loggers are a type of Cherokee modules unsurprisingly used to log
events. They can be configured on a per virtual server basis through
each virtual server’s <tt>Logging</tt> section.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Every <tt>logger</tt> registers information about two types of events, <strong>Accesses</strong>
and <strong>Errors</strong>, in a different format depending on the used <tt>logger</tt>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The information can be registered by any of the following mechanisms:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
File: write to disk.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
System logger: use the syslog standard.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Standard Error: write to stderr.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Execute program: send the log entry to the specified program.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The format of the output and fields that actually are logged are
solely determined by the logger chosen. Cherokee currently supports
the following loggers:</p></div>
