I love ApacheTop. I love Cronolog. After I installed cronolog and used it in my apache configuration, however, I found it more and more difficult to use apachetop. I stopped using it. Well, I finally came up with a bash script that eases my frustration with calling the proper path names for apachetop. Check it out:
My httpd.conf customlog
The entry in httpd.conf vhost contains this line:
1 | CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /etc/httpd/logs/%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d-access_log" combined |
Pretty simple – just keeping my logs separated.
My webtop.sh script
In order to make it easier on myself, I now envoke apachetop with this bash script.
1 2 | #!/bin/bash apachetop -T 3600 -f "/etc/httpd/logs/`date +%Y`/`date +%m`/`date +%Y`-`date +%m`-`date +%d`-access_log" |
And then I’m good to go.

Hello, do you know where we can have technical support for Cronolog ?
