Description

Many Domino servers are queried at a high frequency by load balancers, monitoring agents, or reverse proxies against health-check URLs (e.g. /healthcheck, /api/version). These entries inflate the access log without providing functional value. HTTPLogAccessExclude defines patterns that the HTTP task excludes from the access log (both domlog.nsf and text log). The actual processing of the requests remains unaffected.

Example configuration

HTTPLogAccessExclude=/healthcheck,/api/ping,/icons/*

Notes & pitfalls

  • Pattern matching is case-insensitive and always starts at the beginning of the path.
  • Do not exclude audit / compliance-relevant URLs.
  • Takes effect after an HTTP restart (tell http restart).
  • Pairs well with HTTPLog_QueueDepth (queue) and the chosen log target configuration.
