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

NAME
httpd - Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server SYNOPSIS
httpd [ -d serverroot ] [ -f config ] [ -C directive ] [ -c directive ] [ -D parameter ] [ -e level ] [ -E file ] [ -k start|restart|grace- ful|stop|graceful-stop ] [ -R directory ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -L ] [ -S ] [ -t ] [ -v ] [ -V ] [ -X ] [ -M ] [ -T ] On Windows systems, the following additional arguments are available: httpd [ -k install|config|uninstall ] [ -n name ] [ -w ] SUMMARY
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 or threads to handle requests. In general, httpd should not be invoked directly, but rather should be invoked via apachectl on Unix-based systems or as a service on Win- dows NT, 2000 and XP and as a console application on Windows 9x and ME. OPTIONS
-d serverroot Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to serverroot. This can be overridden by the ServerRoot directive in the configu- ration file. The default is /etc/httpd. -f config Uses the directives 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. -k start|restart|graceful|stop|graceful-stop Signals httpd to start, restart, or stop. See Stopping Apache httpd for more information. -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> sections in the configuration files to conditionally skip or process commands at server startup and restart. Also can be used to set certain less-common startup parameters including -DNO_DETACH (prevent the parent from forking) and -DFOREGROUND (prevent the parent from calling setsid() et al). -e level Sets the LogLevel to level during server startup. This is useful for temporarily increasing the verbosity of the error messages to find problems during startup. -E file Send error messages during server startup to file. -h Output a short summary of available command line options. -l Output a list of modules compiled into the server. This will not list dynamically loaded modules included using the LoadModule directive. -L Output a list of directives provided by static modules, together with expected arguments and places where the directive is valid. Directives provided by shared modules are not listed. -M Dump a list of loaded Static and Shared Modules. -S Show the settings as parsed from the config file (currently only shows the virtualhost settings). -T (Available in 2.3.8 and later) Skip document root check at startup/restart. -t Run syntax tests for configuration files only. The program immediately exits after these syntax parsing tests 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 con- figuration will be printed. If -D DUMP_MODULES is set, all loaded modules 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. The following arguments are available only on the Windows platform: -k install|config|uninstall Install Apache httpd as a Windows NT service; change startup options for the Apache httpd service; and uninstall the Apache httpd service. -n name The name of the Apache httpd service to signal. -w Keep the console window open on error so that the error message can be read.
