Can tomcat access logs(AccessLogValve) be rotated hourly?

[Samir Banerjee]

Is there any option that can enable tomcat access log rotation to hourly format instead of daily. Below is what I am using

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" 
               directory="logs" 
               pattern="%^%B^%q^%m^%s^%t^%v^%T" 
               prefix="access_log." 
               resolveHosts="false" 
               suffix=".txt"/>

Thanks in advance!

Take a closer lok at the "fileDateFormat" attribute in the documentation. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html#Access_Log_Valve
