rotate modsec log with logrotate in the global configuration
Hello Experts,
I have an apache 2.2.17 on solaris 10 that I am not sure if I, could list the following in the global settings in httpd.conf. I tested it in the Virtual host section of httpd.conf and, it works but, not sure if I can do it in the global settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I am trying to do
CustomLog "|/app/apache/bin/rotatelogs /app/apache/logs/modsec_audit1.log 5M" combined
I have one modsec_audit1.log file for all of my virtual host instances and, need to set this up in the global section in httpd.conf to rotate the modsec log.
thanks a million

httpd(8) System Manager's Manual httpd(8)
NAME
httpd - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server
SYNOPSIS
httpd [ -d serverroot ] [ -f config ] [ -C directive ] [ -c directive ] [ -D parameter ]
httpd [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -L ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -t ] [ -X ]
DESCRIPTION
httpd is the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server program. It is designed to be run as a standalone daemon process. When used
like this it will create a pool of child processes to handle requests. To stop it, send a TERM signal to the initial (parent) process. The
PID of this process is written to a file as given in the configuration file.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of the directives necessary to configure httpd see the Apache manual,
which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/. Paths in this manual may not reflect those compiled
into httpd.
OPTIONS
-d serverroot
Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to serverroot. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot command in the con-
figuration file. The default is /etc/httpd.
-f config Execute the commands in the file config on startup. If config does not begin with a /, then it is taken to be a path relative
to the ServerRoot. The default is conf/httpd.conf.
-C directive
Process the configuration directive before reading config files.
-c directive
Process the configuration directive after reading config files.
-D parameter
Sets a configuration parameter which can be used with <IfDefine>...</IfDefine> sections in the configuration files to condi-
tionally skip or process commands.
-h Output a short summary of available command line options.
-l Output a list of modules compiled into the server.
-L Output a list of directives together with expected arguments and places where the directive is valid.
-S Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only shows the virtualhost settings).
-t Run syntax tests for configuration files only. The program immediately exits after these syntax parsing with either a return
code of 0 (Syntax OK) or return code not equal to 0 (Syntax Error). If -D DUMP_VHOSTS is also set, details of the virtual host
configuration will be printed.
-v Print the version of httpd , and then exit.
-V Print the version and build parameters of httpd , and then exit.
-X Run httpd in debug mode. Only one worker will be started and the server will not detach from the console.
