I have a dockerized web application deployed, and everything works just fine, logging every request, including a HUGE number of health checks, which are configured to hit the page /health, a blank page.
I think it's a common problem, and I found this question for a different stack (Elastic Beanstalk).
I'd like to have a solution that is completely automatic and possibly in the Dockerfile

First of all, I need an additional configuration file for Apache, let's call it apacheLogFilter.conf.
The content will be pretty easy, but it could be customized as much as we want, defining custom rules. The trick is defining a custom environment variable that, if present, will stop the logging for that request
SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/health$" dontlog
Once defined this new configuration, we need to plug it into apache directly in the Dockerfile, adding the following rows:
FROM php:7.2-apache
...
# Copy the log-filtering configuration in the right place
COPY apacheLogFilter.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled
# Change the standard logging entry of all the available sites to use the variable
RUN sed -ri -e 's!combined!combined env=\!dontlog!g' /etc/apache2/sites-available/*.conf
...
In this way, the configuration file will be loaded by apache at startup, each request will check the rules defined, and in case one of them will trigger, the request will not be logged

I have pretty well-optimized website, PageSpeed Insights tool shows good results, but Google keeps saying reduce server response time which is 0.46 seconds. And it must not be greater than 200ms.
I have tried to delete all my htaccess content, then replace index.php with an empty index.html file, but server response remained the same. I am using a virtual private server with Debian 7and storing 2 websites with SSL on different IP addresses. The second site responds perfectly in 144 ms.
So, I can't find the reason why one site loads under 200ms and other in 460ms. I'm pretty sure that server has enough resources.
I would be grateful for the ideas.
You could try some tweaks on your apache server. Can't guarantee that you'll get the desired result but it's an easy job and I think you have nothing to lose if you try it! So edit your apache2.conf file and adjust your actual settings to match the ones bellow (these are good settings in terms of web server security as well).
TraceEnable Off
ServerSignature Off
ServerTokens Prod
FileETag None
HostnameLookups Off # this is important since your apache server won't try to translate your ip address into a dns name or host when you access your website
ExtendedStatus On # you can enable it afterwards, if you need it
Timeout 10
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 5
You could also disable apache modules (modules that you do not need or use). By default apache loads a big list of modules and I am pretty sure that you won't be needing them all. I can't provide you a list with what to keep enabled or what to disable but you can do a little Google research and based on your website you could decide what to disable and what to keep.
I am actually using all these settings on my CentOS 6.8 linux box and all the settings are in httpd.conf. On Debian you should edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and maybe some other files!

How to add custom variable name with apache logs so that I can add my project name with my error logs in beginning, it is helpful for recognizing error logs with project name. I have lot of projects in my organization and project can be build in any language, I want to track all logs on a one place, but issue is that which errors are coming from which projects, i am unable to get it, so I want to add project name with logs. please suggest me, if any documentation is there, so i can manipulate apache then share with me.
Apache Access Log is using a log format defined by LogFormat directive.
This format can contain a lot of things. One of theses things is %{VARNAME}e : The contents of the environment variable VARNAME. So using SetEnv on your application VirtualHosts you could manage your goals.
But this does not work for ErrorLog. If you manage applications with Virtualhosts you should use separate ErrorLog files on theses Virtualhosts.

I've got some headache trying to configure that for some days so I hope someone can help me.
I've got few sites, each one related to an FTP account. I would like to make them accessible through my man website by the url http://www.mainsite.com/site1. At this point an Alias should do the work.
However I would like to add some features such as specify the log file related to the site1 which would be in the web directory of the FTP account site1. Later, I would like to put them in /var/log and have a script to sync the log file located in the web directory with the one in /var/log so that even if a user delete the log file in the web directory, the original one is still here.
To go back to the main problem, I don't know how to do that, I tried to configure a whole vhost for the site1 but then, as the ServerName would be the same as the main site, the main site would no longer be accessible.
Any suggestions ?
You could try the ancient ServerPath directive, which will cause /site1 to be mapped to one vhost and /site2 to be mapped to another, despite having matching servername and local interface:port.

I have a directory called /var/www/icons on my web server, which is also referenced as an alias in my Apache config as seen below:
Alias /icons/ "/var/www/icons/"
The directory contains a number of small PNGs and GIFs, which AFAIK are unused, along with a README file.
Am I safe to remove this alias from my Apache config by commenting it out? If not, what area of my application is the removal of this likely to effect?
There is very little documentation available on this directory and I must admit i've never came across it up until now.
Most icons are used for displaying file types in directory listings. If you do not use such listings, you can safely remove alias + files. I did so and do not miss them.
It is for sure safe to remove it. Other conf files could reference /icons (e. g. the autoindex module) but apart from some not found errors nothing nasty should happen.
My advice: scan the access.log files to see if urls rooted at /icons are accessed. Delete the alias and monitor the error.log file for 404 errors.

I've got a LAMP dev server at something like dev.example.com. Eventually this will be replicated to something like www.example.com where we will have root access.
I'd like to have the sys admin set up a few subdomains (e.g., subdomain1.example.com) such that they will work on both the dev server and the production server without the references to those subdomains having to be rewritten.
Can Apache be configured on the dev and production servers such that my code can reference something like subdomain1.localhost? Is there some other way of doing this?
(The servers will run recent versions of CentOS and the AMP stack.)
I finally found the answer in the CDN module. As the name implies, this is intended to be used with content delivery networks but essentially all it does is a rule-based re-writing of the URLs that Drupal outputs. I've used it to re-write URLs so that different file types can be served from unique hostnames (again, to maximize parallel downloads).
reading your question again, I think that you want your code to always return subdomain1.localhost, and you want apache to somehow change this to subdomain1.example.com on your production server.
You could do this with ProxyPassReverse, although you might have to run two copies of Apache if the subdomain1 is on the same machine. (I don't know if Apache will cope with talking to itself here). This is an expensive solution.
Instead, I recommend your parameterize your code.
On rails stacks, the easiest way to do this with the production.rb cp that capistrano recommends, and you might want to investigate similar ways of deploying your PHP code.
