ROTATELOGS(8) rotatelogs ROTATELOGS(8)
NAME
rotatelogs - Piped logging program to rotate Apache logs
SYNOPSIS
rotatelogs [ -l ] logfile [ rotationtime [ offset ]] | [ filesizeM ]
SUMMARY
rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache’s piped logfile
feature. For example:
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common
This creates the files /var/logs/logfile.nnnn where nnnn is the system time at
which the log nominally starts (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation
time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation
time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started.
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 5M" common
This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it reaches a size of 5
megabytes.
ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M"
This configuration will rotate the error logfile whenever it reaches a size of 5
megabytes, and the suffix to the logfile name will be created of the form error-
log.YYYY-mm-dd-HH_MM_SS.
OPTIONS
-l (2.0.51 and later)
Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the interval.
Note that using -l in an environment which changes the GMT offset (such as
for BST or DST) can lead to unpredictable results!
logfile
The path plus basename of the logfile. If logfile includes any ’%’ charac-
ters, it is treated as a format string for strftime(3). Otherwise, the suf-
fix .nnnnnnnnnn is automatically added and is the time in seconds. Both for-
mats compute the start time from the beginning of the current period.
rotationtime
The time between log file rotations in seconds.
offset The number of minutes offset from UTC. If omitted, zero is assumed and UTC
is used. For example, to use local time in the zone UTC -5 hours, specify a
value of -300 for this argument.
filesizeM
The maximum file size in megabytes followed by the letter M to specify size
rather than time. Use this parameter in place of both rotationtime and
offset.
PORTABILITY
The following logfile format string substitutions should be supported by all strf-
time(3) implementations, see the strftime(3) man page for library-specific exten-
sions.
· %A - full weekday name (localized)
· %a - 3-character weekday name (localized)
· %B - full month name (localized)
· %b - 3-character month name (localized)
· %c - date and time (localized)
· %d - 2-digit day of month
· %H - 2-digit hour (24 hour clock)
· %I - 2-digit hour (12 hour clock)
· %j - 3-digit day of year
· %M - 2-digit minute
· %m - 2-digit month
· %p - am/pm of 12 hour clock (localized)
· %S - 2-digit second
· %U - 2-digit week of year (Sunday first day of week)
· %W - 2-digit week of year (Monday first day of week)
· %w - 1-digit weekday (Sunday first day of week)
· %X - time (localized)
· %x - date (localized)
· %Y - 4-digit year
· %y - 2-digit year
· %Z - time zone name
· %% - literal ‘%’
