[users@httpd] log rotation

hi folks,

could you please advise on what solutions (preferably without using third-party tool) you use to rotate apache logs?

I see rotatelogs under bin/ Could you please advise on its usage?

Is there a config option in httpd.conf we can benefit from to rotate logs?


thanks
