apache logs not rotating

here is a copy of the 'apache' file we used in the /etc/logrotate.d folder and works quiet well.

Code:

/usr/local/apache/logs/*_log {
notifempty
daily
rotate 1
missingok
compress
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}

you might need to use the

Code:

rotate 3 

when you use rotate 1 its will only keep one log archive and above code rotate every day, if you wanna trouble shoot issues with access.log or something you might need few days of logs, so if you are using daily i would recommend to use 3+

hope that helps

 

this was just posted as a sample, may need to be adjusted for their own preferences!
