Hi, Santosh;
Top of mind, if you have control of the backend response object you
could:
Have the HTTP status code from the backend more accurately reflect
typical HTTP status codes (4xx would be better than 5xx in "OK" scenarios).
Add a response header indicating "OK" and log that (mod_log_config using
%{headername}o). Then anything without that header could be treated as
an error.
Otherwise, I am unaware of a way to interrogate the response object for
content and log differently.
