Some weeks ago was being overwhelmed with ddos attack

After some research i fixed the proxy misconfiguration and activated Mod_evasive for apache, the slowlyness was gone.

I'm still receiving some types of request like this one 51.159.210.176 - - [01/Dec/2022:20:51:26 +0000] "GET http://chongzhi.jusunpay.com:8122/pay HTTP/1.1" 302 217

Are they harmless to my server? Also there is a way to disable this specific log? Because the access_log file is getting close to 50GB

  • You could install logrotate. That would save disk space by compressing logs and deleting old logs. I rarely want to look at logs from more than a month ago, so there's no point in keeping them. – Nick ODell Dec 02 '22 at 03:27
  • Alternatively, here's a question which explains how to disable logs for requests matching a certain regex: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40205569/dont-log-certain-requests-in-apache-access-log – Nick ODell Dec 02 '22 at 03:28
