Cant figure out how to do this.

I want my access log to only log entries that come from an agent containing the string "wordone wordtwo wordthree" etc

Anyway to do this?

Ive played around with this:

if ($http_user_agent ~* (bot) ) {
set $crawler 'yes';
}
location / {
if ($crawler = 'yes') {
access_log /var/log/bots.log;
access_log on;
}
}



Just doesnt work. :(
Nothing appears in the log file

Got it working!

Was a location block problem.

I deleted the location / block

and move this part
if ($crawler = 'yes') {
access_log /var/log/bots.log;
access_log on;

to my fastcgi processing block
