[NewBie]Tomcat logs
Hi,
We have tomcat 4.1.24 installed. Thanks to tomcat documentation and email archives, we understood that tomcat logs will be rotated every day.
Would like to know if there we can configure the following for tomcat logs :
1) Keep a maximum of log files in tomcat/logs directory for AccessLog and other logs configured.
2) Keep a consolidated log file for the webserver and configure the backups and max. size for it.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Julie Chritiana

See the javadocs for AccessLogValve (prefereably your local version since the
site is a version out of date. Any setXXX(stuff) method can be set declared
in the AccessLogValve decalration. For example, there is a property called
rotatable as indicated by setRotatable(boolean). This can be set in the vavle
by this:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
rotatable='false' pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/>
You can declare as many Valves as you want. I recommend copy/paste to get as
many declarations as possible on a test tomcat instance so you can play with
the different property permutations.

Sorry to bother you all with so many questions,
but could you please send me a sample server.xml which achieves the same.
Any documentation for the same would also be useful.
Thanks,

You can have multiple AccessLogValves at the same time. For example: one
writing to a single non-rotating log file and the other rotating nightly.

The AccessLogValve does not have the ability to perform the deletion of old
files.
You can have multiple AccessLogValves at the same time. For example: one
writing to a single non-rotating log file and the other rotating nightly.

Is it possible to do this configuration in webserver itself ... I mean in server.xml ?
Thanks for the help,

Both can be done by simple exercises in shell scripting.
