Topic: mod_log_rotate updated

[Steffen]

Andy has just added the most requested feature to mod_log_rotate - the ability to specify a strftime() format string as the log file name. So now you can do something like

CustomLog logs/access_log.%Y%m%d-%H%M%S common

and have log files named with a human readable date and time.

I made the Windows binary available here at the apache Lounge.

What is mod_log_rotate ?

If you host a lot of virtual servers on a single Apache box and use the supplied rotatelogs.exe program to rotate the logs you’ll notice that your process table is cluttered up with an instance of rotatelogs for each virtual server. With mod_log_rotate the log rotation is handled by the server process so you save a bunch of processes and file descriptors.


Enjoy,

Steffen
