Hi -- Apologies for some very basic questions about logs. I am a newbie, running Apache 2 and ModPerl 2 on a RedHat Linux box. Pointers to relevant docs or postings bery much appreciated. Seeking advice & opinions.
[1] What are my options for rolling Apache logs? Is there a preferred Apache tool, or a preferred Linux tool? Logfile::Rotate via perl? logrotate thru linux? [2a] If the error log is large and all entries have been examined and resolved, does it do any harm to delete it or rename it away? (Does AP2 need the logfile to exist before it writes to it?) [2b] What should and should not be done to a log while Apache is running? [3] Any suggestions r.e. preferred tools for doing basic traffic analysis from Apache logs? Logfile::Apache? webalizer? sawmill? analog? awstats? [4] Any suggestions r.e. perl modules for mucking around in the old logs directly? HTTPD::Log::Filter?
