Tell Apache Not to Log NixStats & certain requests in access_log

On a Debian 8 VestaCP server, I wish Apache to NOT LOG visits by Nixstats and Google bot.

This is the entry I see
1xx.6x.x3.xx4 - - [24/Aug/2016:16:27:02 -0400] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 303 "-" "Mozilla/5.0+(compatible; nixStatsRobot/1.0; http://www.nixstats.com/)"

I understand that I need to put such lines in the apache global conf.

SetEnvIf Remote_Host "bla.example.com$" dontlog

SetEnvIf User_Agent "(MSIE)" dontlog

so which conf shall I write in? Since I need it GLOBALLY for all domains hosted. I presume it is
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
correct ? There is no CustomLog line in the conf as I read on some forums...
What exactly will be the entry string to exclude nixStatsRobot ?
