Logrotate
3.7 Logrotate
Set up any log rotations you want by putting configure files into /etc/logrotate.d. The only logs I need to configure are the Apache web logs for each website I run. The following logrotate setup handles them all at once:
- cd /etc/logrotate.d
- sudo vi apache
Add the following:
/var/log/httpd/*/*_log {
# rotate log files daily
daily
# keep x days of backlogs
rotate 14

service apache graceful
endscript
}
Save and exit. Check the man pages of logrotate for more info on each option.
