It can be done though. See here for more info. http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Logging#Q6 http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Logging#Q10 > and access logs ( AccessLogsValve) roll log based on size instead of daily > rolling ? I don't know if this is going to be possible, access logs are not written through the logging system. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html#Access_logging As far as I know, the valve that comes with Tomcat [3] only support rotating by date. I suppose you could use a different valve or write your own (perhaps subclassing the AccesLogValve), if rotating by size is that important.
