Build Your Apache logs by Unified Log rotate cycle In EC2 Instances.

Build Your Apache logs by Unified Log rotate cycle In EC2 Instances.

Log rotate by default configured in one of the EC2 instances for apache web server's access_log & error_log

Step:1

The below configuration was Actual entry (/etc/httpd/conf.d/example.com.conf)


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/public_html/public

    #CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/access_log combined
    #CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/access_log.%Y.%m.%d 86400" combined
    CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/access_%d.%m.%Y.log 86400" combined
    ErrorLog  /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/error_log

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/public_html/public>
        Options -Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias www.example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/public_html/public
        CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/access_ssl_%d.%m.%Y.log 86400" combined
        ErrorLog  /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/error_ssl_log

        SSLEngine ON
        SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/example.com-ca.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/example.com.key
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/example.com.crt


    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/public_html/public>
        Options -Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Step:2
The entry you might rotate every 7 days based on your requirement you will have to change accordingly.

This entry has to be done in the file path

File: /etc/logrotate.d/vhostlogs

##########################################################################################
/var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/*.log {
    daily
    rotate 2
    missingok
    notifempty
    nocreate
    compress
    postrotate
           find /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/ -name "*.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
    endscript
}
###########################################################################################

That's it you have done the Log rotate entry for Apache access logs!!!
