I need to logrotate logs in directories in /var/log/httpd/. There are 4 directories in /var/log/httpd/... these directories  are /var/log/httpd/access/
/var/log/httpd/debug/
/var/log/httpd/error/ 
/var/log/httpd/required/

Each of the access, required, error and debug directories have around 20 to 30 access log files of different locations for example:mumbai-access.log, pune-access.log etc..same is the case for 'error' dir 'required' dir and 'debug' dir in /var/log/httpd/

I need to clean up the logfiles in all the 4 directories access, error, debug and required...

I have made a custom logrotate file as follows:
/etc/logrotate.d/httpd-logs

Answer:

The following will rotate on weekly and it will keep last 4 log files and all other old compressed logs will be removed automatically.

Code:

"/var/log/httpd/access/*.monitor.com-access_log" "/var/log/httpd/error/*.monitor.com-error_log" "/var/log/httpd/request/*.monitor.com-ssl_request_log" "/var/log/httpd/debug/*.monitor.com-rw_log"
{
    weekly
        missingok
        copytruncate
        rotate 4
        compress
        notifempty
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
           /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
        endscript
}
 

Above /sbin/service is compatible with centos / rhel / fedora linux. 

For other distro use direct /etc/init.d/ path.
