Log rotation can also be controlled by including attributes for the files that need to be included in log rotation in
the
/etc/logrotate.d
directory. These can include various directives, depending on the type of log file that is being
rotated. Listing 7-27 provides an example of an HTTP service log-file rotation with post-rotate directives as well.
Listing 7-27.

Logwatch is another facility that gives a daily synopsis of what the system looks like. Listing 7-28 provides an
example of what a logwatch output looks like.
