<title>Logging and log file rotation</title>
<para>The <command>httpd</command> daemon is configured to log
to the <filename>/var/log/httpd</filename> directory by default,
and a drop-in for <command>logrotate</command> is provided at
<filename>/etc/logrotate.d/httpd</filename> to enable log file
rotation. The <command>httpd.service</command> systemd unit is
reloaded after a <command>logrotate</command> run.</para>
<para>Log file compression is not enabled by default; since
<command>httpd</command> can continue writing to open log files
for some time after a reload (graceful restart), if compression
is enabled the <literal>delaycompress</literal> option must be
present (as in the default) to delay compression of log files to
a later rotation run.</para>
