3 rotatelogs Syntax

Rotatelogs[ -L]logfile  [  Rotationtime  [ offset  ] | [  FileSize m]

logfile

it adds the base name to the log file name. If logfile "%" is included, it is treated as strftime() the format string used, otherwise it is automatically appended with the " .nnnnnnnnnn " suffix in seconds. Both formats represent the time when the new log began to be used.

rotationtime

The

interval of time in seconds that the log file is scrolled.

offset

the number of minutes of the time difference relative to UTC. If omitted, it is assumed to be "0" and UTC time is used. For example, to specify local time for a region with a UTC difference of "-5 hours", this parameter should be " -300 ".

filesizeM

specifies scrolling as a filesizeM file size instead of scrolling by time or slack.

Examples of settings under Windows are as follows:
# Limit error log file to 1M
Errorlog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/error-%y-%m-%d.log 1M"
# Generate an error log file every day
#ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe logs/error-%y-%m-%d.log 86400"
# Limit access log file to 1M
Customlog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/access-%y-%m-%d.log 1M" common
# Generate one access log file per day
#CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe logs/access-%y-%m-%d.log 86400" common
