title: logging apache2 to mongodb: apache hook? something out there?
body: <p>i just found a great blog posting on <a href="http://simonwillison.net/2009/Aug/26/logging/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://simonwillison.net/2009/Aug/26/logging/</a> stating the following </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MongoDB is fantastic for logging".
    Sounds tempting... high performance
    inserts, JSON structured records and
    capped collections if you only want to
    keep the past X entries. If you care
    about older historic data but still
    want to preserve space you could run
    periodic jobs to roll up log entries
    in to summarised records. It shouldn’t
    be too hard to write a command-line
    script that hooks in to Apache’s
    logging directive and writes records
    to MongoDB.</p>

  <p>is there anything out there already? anyone already using apache logging with mongodb?</p>
