Well, there are lots of ways around this problem. 100's of domains is
no problem, you can do that by hand, try 10,000's.

Why not have this automated? Have yourself a list of domains, like this:

Inside logrotate.conf, you specify an include directory, in this
example we'll use /usr/local/etc/domains/virtual/conf.

This file consists of vritualdomainname:directoryname

/usr/local/etc/domains/virtual/logrotate.list:

example.test:example.test
housing.example.test:housing.example.test
schooling.example.test:schooling.example.test
...

So, in the rebuild script you might use something like this


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my %config;

sub set_config {
$config{'logrotateconf'} =
"/usr/local/etc/domains/virtual/logrotate.list";
$config{'logrotatedir'} =
"/usr/local/etc/domains/virtual/conf";
}

sub make_logrotate {
my $host_name = shift;
my $path_name = shift;

open( F, ">$path_name" )
or die( "cannot create $path_name:$!" );
print( F
"/var/www/sites/$path_name/log/*.log {
missingok
daily
create 0664 www-data www-data
rotate 5
prerotate
/root/website.sh /var/www/sites/$path_name
endscript

postrotate
apache2ctl graceful
endscript
}
" );
close(F);
}

sub build_virtual_logrotate {
open( F, $config{'logrotateconf'} )
or die( "cannot open ${config{'logrotateconf'}}:$!" );
while( <F> ) {
chomp;
if( $_ =~ /^(.*):(.*)$/ ) {
# although not really used, $1 allows you some
future flexibility if you need to pass the actual virtual name to the
make_logroate function
make_logrotate( $1, $2 );
}
}
close(F);
}

sub main {
build_virtual_logrotate();
}

set_config();
main();
