<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''cronolog''' is a utility intended to make log rotation with Apache easy. Generally, one invokes cronolog in a '''piped log''' Log directive in httpd.conf or one of its includes.<br /> <br /> example:<br /> <br /> CustomLog &quot;|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog --symlink=/data/websites/freebsdwiki.net/logs/httpd-access.log /data/websites/freebsdwiki.net/logs/httpd-access.%Y-%m.log&quot; combined<br /> ErrorLog &quot;|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog --symlink=/data/websites/freebsdwiki.net/logs/httpd-error.log /data/websites/freebsdwiki.net/logs/httpd-error.%Y-%m.log&quot;<br /> <br /> This would cause logging to be automatically split in monthly logs in the format httpd-access.YYYY.MM.log and httpd-error.YYYY.MM.log, with symlinks automatically maintained from httpd-access.log and httpd-error.log to the newest of those logfiles. [[Newsyslog]] entries and/or cron jobs are not required, '''cronolog''' does all the work itself.<br /> <br /> You might, of course, wish to consider cooking up a script invoked once per logging period to automatically [[bzip]] or [[gzip]] old log files.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Ports and Packages]] [[Category: FreeBSD for Servers]]</div>
