The output you describe is the CLF request log generated by the Site
instance (via twisted.web.http.HTTPFactory.log). You can do as suggested
and override the "log" method on your Site instance. This will give you
access to the request and allow you to extract the xmlrpc method.
Something like...
class Site(server.Site):
def log(self, request):
request.content.seek(0,0)
args, functionPath = xmlrpclib.loads(request.content.read())
# Keep the CLF line
server.Site.log(self, request)
# Add your own info on another line
if hasattr(self, "logFile"):
self.logFile.write('xmlrpc method: %s\n' % (functionPath,))
You did say you would prefer to have one line per request, so you might
want to just recreate the log method from HTTPFactory here and make
appropriate modifications (calculating request date/time and adding your
xmlrpc info).
