Topic: Question on rotatelogs

Hi Can anyone please tell me what is the use of rotatelogs? I have put the following line in http.conf

CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe logs/sample.%Y-%m-%d.log 30" common

When I start the server, it creates a sample.X-Y-Z.log and logs the server activity? What I dont understand is , what does it do?

Thanks,
Asif

Hmm i not read all

Rotate log just create log file eq per day not one big log file

mysite.com-20-09-1985.log
mysite.com-21-09-1985.log
mysite.com-22-09-1985.log

So you had seperated log files per one day, you can config to had log per hour or month
