Subject: Log rotation HOWTO
I haven't been able to find a clear answer to this anywhere online,
hopefully you fine folks can help...
I need a way to rotate my stdout log in Tomcat 5.0.18. It could be dalily
or weekly (monthly might be OK too).
Is thre any way to do this? I assume so, so how? Thanks in advance all!

Could you please use tomcats web admin to change logging settings...
By default you can access http://localhost:8080/admin
You can activate a separate log for several contents.

Betreff: Managing Tomcat logs
Hi,
I am using Tomcat as web server for my application. I start Tomcat using
windows service. All the logs generated by the Application are written in to
a file called stdout.log which is under tomca/logs folder.
I have noticed that with continuous use of application,stdout file size
increasing to a large extent. To delete the it I have to stop the tomcat.
Is there any way that I can manage the logs date wise automatically(without
manual intervention). I am not using any third party tool for logging.
The logging mechanism I use is very simple.
We have class Debug.java that have a method log(String); This log() method
use System.out.println(); In the application, I use Debug.log("Exception");
I will be more happy if there is any way to manage logs.
I have also noticed the following logs generated by Tomcat:
1.localhost_log.2004-06-18.txt
2.localhost_access_log.2004_06_22.txt
How to maintain these logs?. Can we off them permanently?
Thanks in advance.

Instead of using System.out.println() to log your messages, use the
HttpServlet's log() method. You can specify the logging class you want to
use,
the path it writes to, the base name, and extension. Each day a new file is
created and you can simply delete the old ones as they are closed when a new
file is started each day. You could also create your own logger that manages
the
file size in some way. I have used the former and have specified the file
name
and path so that it easy form me to manage. My logs are separate from the
normal
logs as well.

You could add a customer Logger tag to the context in your server.xml and
add the swallowOutput="true" attribute, this will put standard out and
standard error into the log file that you specify which is rotated on a
daily basis automatically for you by tomcat.
