how to prevent log if request matches in Apache

  • 772

i'am trying to remove some request from Apache logs. for example, if the request match "RunJobs&tasks=jobs"

i am trying to use 

SetEnvIf Request_URI "(RunJobs&tasks=jobs)" dontlog
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log vhost_combined env=!dontlog

but request_URI doesn't contain the request it stop at the filename.

I checked the other possibilities, but none could help: 

Remote_Host
Remote_Addr
Server_Addr
Request_Method
Request_Protocol
Request_URI

how to prevent log if request matches RunJobs&tasks=jobs ?

thanks

    As SetEnvIf Query_String doesn't exist, this is a way to achieve it :

    # Set an environment variable when the query string matches a certain string. 
# Modify the string you match against according to your requirements. 
# In this example any non empty query string matches. 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$ 
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=dontlog:yes] 
# Use the env variable set above to remove from logging file. 
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log vhost_combined env=!dontlog
