Compiling and installing Cronolog Web Apache and Tomcat logs

Cronolog is a log polling (rotation) tool that can be used to store output log shards for Apache, Tomcat, Nginx and other Web servers on a daily or monthly basis. Cronolog reads the log contents from the standard input and writes them to a log file named in the specified format. When the date changes, Cronolog will close the previous log file and open a log file containing the new date. The Cronolog can be used to solve the problem that the Web server log files are growing and cannot be deleted at run time.

Cronolog Features:

Cronolog features Cronolog can log polling by month, day, or even by the hour, or you can configure the maximum value of each log file, which is automatically logged to the next log file when the file size reaches this maximum value.

The Cronolog stable version is 1.6.2, but this version has a disadvantage: when the log file size to 2G (2150726147 bytes), the Cronolog process becomes a zombie process, that is, the logs can not be written again, Cronolog 1.7 resolves this issue.

Download

Cronolog-1.7.0-beta.tar.gz

Installation

# tar zxvf cronolog-1.7.0-beta.tar.gz# cd cronolog-1.7.0#./configure--prefix=/usr/local/cronolog# make# make install

If you do not specify a--prefix path, Cronolog is installed by default on/usr/local/sbin/cronolog

Modify Apache Virtual Host Configuration

Edit the httpd.conf file to place the

[Email protected]~] #vim/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

The default log:

Customlog "Logs/access_log" combined

Modified to:

Customlog "| /usr/local/sbin/cronolog/logs/www/access_%y%m%d.log "combined

Where%y%m%d is the log file segmentation method, that is, "Month Day".

The key point is that the journal being polled must be an absolute path, not a relative path.

Modify the Tomcat configuration

Modify the catalina.sh in the Tomcat bin directory

# vim/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

Find the following code

catalina_out= "$CATALINA _base"/logs/catalina.outtouch  "$CATALINA _out"  if [  "$"  =   "-security"  ] ; then    if [  $have _tty -eq 1  ]; then      echo  "Using security manager"      fi    shift     "$_runjava"   "$LOGGING _config"  $ logging_manager  $JAVA _opts  $CATALINA _opts       - djava.endorsed.dirs= "$JAVA _endorsed_dirs"  -classpath  "$CLASSPATH"         -djava.security.manager       -djava.security.policy== "$ Catalina_base "/conf/catalina.policy       -dcatalina.base=" $CATALINA _base "        -dcatalina.home= "$CATALINA _home"         -djava.io.tmpdir= "$CATALINA _tmpdir"        org.apache.catalina.startup.bootstrap  "[email protected]"  start        >>  "$CATALINA _out"  2>&1 &   else     "$_runjava"   "$LOGGING _config"   $LOGGING _manager  $JAVA _opts   $CATALINA _opts       -djava.endorsed.dirs= "$JAVA _endorsed_dirs"   -classpath  "$CLASSPATH"        -dcatalina.base= "$CATALINA _base"         -dcatalina.home= "$CATALINA _home"         -djava.io.tmpdir= "$CATALINA _tmpdir"         org.apache.catalina.startup.bootstrap  "[email protected]"  start        >>  "$CATALINA _out"  2>&1 &  fi

Comment out the top touch "$CATALINA _out" as follows

#touch "$CATALINA _out"

The following two places

Org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "[email protected]" Start >> "$CATALINA _out" 2>&1 &

Revision changed to

Org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "[email protected]" Start 2>&1 | /usr/local/sbin/cronolog "$CATALINA _out" >>/dev/null 2>&1 &

Or

Org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "[email protected]" Start 2>&1 | /usr/local/cronolog/sbin/cronolog "$CATALINA _base"/logs/catalina.%y-%m-%d.out >>/dev/null &

Then reboot Tomcat to
