It looked like one of our servers was getting hit pretty hard a while ago, and since we have about 100 sites on that server, I needed a way to find the largest log file. How to solve this? The Linux find command!
First, cd to your apache log file directory. Next, here's the command that showed me the access log files on our system, sorted in ascending order by size:
find . -name "access*" -mtime -1 -exec ls -ld {} \; | sort +4n
Ahh, brings tears of joy to my eye just looking at it. :)
