How do I set up logrotate on my server?

To set up logrotate, you need to install it first. On Ubuntu, you can use sudo apt-get install logrotate. Would you like to know how to configure it?

Yes, how do I configure logrotate?

You can configure logrotate by editing the configuration file located at /etc/logrotate.conf or by creating a new file in /etc/logrotate.d/. What logs do you want to manage?

I want to manage my Apache logs.

For Apache logs, you can create a file named apache in /etc/logrotate.d/ with specific settings. Would you like a sample configuration?

Yes, please provide a sample configuration.

Here's a sample configuration:

/var/log/apache2/*.log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 14
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    create 640 www-data adm
}

This will rotate your Apache logs daily, keeping 14 days of logs.
