How To Suppress Apache Error

  • 772

I've gone through the trouble of blocking a number of bots that are trying to crawl our site. The issue now is that the following error is taking over the apache error log:

client denied by server configuration

I was hoping that an Apache expert out there can tell me how I can suppress the error message for this specific issue from being written to the error log.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    grep -v

    Really. I mean it. Why manipulate the logs at time of writing?

    Edit 1

    tail -f -n100 /var/log/httpd/error_log | grep -v 'client denied by server configuration'

    If you really want to prevent the error from being written to disk, you can pipe your logs through a script. More details here:
