: How log rotation is done in Tomcat for access logs How log rotation is done in Tomcat ie catalina.out and access.out ? We can logrotate for catalina.out : # vim /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat7 /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out

logrotate is a tool independent from tomcat. It can be used with log files generated by any kind of applications.

You can add a rule for the access.out tomcat log file in the /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat7 logrotate configuration file. If you want to apply the same rules as for /var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out you can modify your configuration file like this:

/var/log/tomcat7/catalina.out /var/log/tomcat7/access.out{
copytruncate
daily
# rotate 52
rotate 90
compress
missingok
create 640 tomcat7 adm
}
