 ## Logging Format
 
-OAuth2 Proxy logs requests to stdout in a format similar to Apache Combined Log.
+By default, OAuth2 Proxy logs requests to stdout in a format similar to Apache Combined Log.
 
 ```
 <REMOTE_ADDRESS> - <user@domain.com> [19/Mar/2015:17:20:19 -0400] <HOST_HEADER> GET <UPSTREAM_HOST> "/path/" HTTP/1.1 "<USER_AGENT>" <RESPONSE_CODE> <RESPONSE_BYTES> <REQUEST_DURATION>
 ```
 
+If you require a different format than that, you can configure it with the `-request-logging-format` flag.
+The default format is configured as follows:
+
+```
+{{.Client}} - {{.Username}} [{{.Timestamp}}] {{.Host}} {{.RequestMethod}} {{.Upstream}} {{.RequestURI}} {{.Protocol}} {{.UserAgent}} {{.StatusCode}} {{.ResponseSize}} {{.RequestDuration}}
+```
