CustomLog "/var/log/httpd-access.log" combine
you have:
CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/httpd-access.log
86400"
which will create a new log file every 86400 seconds (= 1 day) and
label each one with the unix time it was created appended to the
name. eg:
/var/log/httpd-access.log.1216252800
That will change files at midnight UTC each day, which is fine
if your server lives in the UK but not quite as convenient if your
server is in Australia.
Yes. Apache's rotatelogs is a better choice than newsyslog. Under heavy
load, the latter can corrupt Apache logs.
rotatelogs also can do changes based on log size, like this:
CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs/var/log/httpd-access.log 5M" \
combined
and if you don't like deciphering Unix epoch time, you can embed times
in your log filenames like this:
CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs \
/var/log/httpd-access.log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400" combined
(n.b. I added the backslashes in the examples here; you want everything
on a single line in your config file.)
