Re: Use of Modsec variable in apache access log

HelloHomesh,

Unfortunately, this is not how this works.

A ModSecuriy variable is not automatically an environment variable.
And on top, the ModSec variable "rule" is only available during the
execution of the very rule (and there might be many, many rules).

I suggest you read up on my free tutorials published at netnea.com.
The one on logging and the ones on the Core Rule Set are proposing
ways to achieve something along these lines.

Best,

Christian
