How log rotation is done in Tomcat for access logs
6,004
logrotate
is a tool independent from tomcat. It can be used with log files generated by any kind of applications.
You can add a rule for the access.out
tomcat log file in the /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat7
logrotate configuration file. If you want to apply the same rules as for /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out
you can modify your configuration file like this:
/var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out /var/log/tomcat7/access.out{
copytruncate
daily
# rotate 52
rotate 90
compress
missingok
create 640 tomcat7 adm
}
Read the manual for more information.

How log rotation is done in Tomcat ie catalina.out and access.out ?
We can logrotate for catalina.out :
# vim /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat7 /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out { copytruncate daily # rotate 52 rotate 90 compress missingok create 640 tomcat7 adm }
In same way can we do it for access logs ?
