Hello guys, I´d like to add a Rolling Log feature to Apache Web
Server, some like if the user add:
RollingLog = true
on httpd.conf, Apache will automatically add ( -YYYYMMDD ) to the end
of log´s file name.
People commonly use rotatelogs / piped logging and OS facilities like
logrotated which are both pretty flexible.
Why another way?
logrotate installed on just about every linux distro has been around a
very long time and is proven.
An observation with auto rolling, we use and have used DNews usenet news
server since the 90's, by default, it auto rolls logs daily, back in the
90's we quickly realized how ridiculous that was and disabled DNews' log
management and have logrotate handle it, which it does perfectly, to
this day, so lets not make the same mistake here :)
