what you defined is correct ...  a simpler way is using default setting
<Valve
                 className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
                 directory="logs"
                 prefix="your-site-access-log-"
                 suffix=".log"
                 pattern="common"
                 resolveHosts="false"/>

the result should be
(if you are testing from same host)
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2006:18:54:48 +0800] "GET /site/ HTTP/1.1" 200 306
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2006:18:54:48 +0800] "GET /site/Welcome.do HTTP/1.1"
200 1775
(if your user testing from remote host)
202.110.6.23 - - [18/Oct/2006:19:03:44 +0800] "GET /site/Welcome.do
HTTP/1.1" 200 8893
...

Hello,

My site is hosted on Tomcat 5.5 and I'm trying to log the IP Address of
search engine bots that crawl the site.

After reading the following documentation here, which is written very
nicely btw
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/valves/AccessLogValve.html

I configured the pattern attribute of AccessLogValve as follows:

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
pattern="%a %A %h %H %u %t "%r" %s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-Agent}i""
prefix="localhost_access_log." resolveHosts="false" suffix=".txt" />

The following is a sample of what gets logged with the above configuration
in server.xml .

127.0.0.1 68.120.115.43 127.0.0.1 HTTP/1.1 - [29/Oct/2006:23:50:13 -0800]
"GET /web/_stylesheet/table.css HTTP/1.1" 304 - "
http://www.website.com/c/a_page.jsp"; "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7"

The documentation says that %a is Remote IP Address, however 127.0.0.1 is
being logged instead of the IP Address of the requestor.

Is this correct?

IMO %a should be the IP Address of the agent that's making the request - (
i.e. the IP Address of a browser or a bot etc).

Please let me know if there's a way to log IP Address of the agent that's
making the request.

Any help is appreciated.

-Thank you
Rashmi
