Description
Just like on pacific, our logs will grow exponentially. We need to make sure that hard disk performance is not hampered by that.

Actually, logrotate was already installed on server. I believe it is installed by default.
I just needed to edit /etc/logrotate.d/apache2, changing:
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
to:
/var/log/apache2/*.log /var/www/vhosts/*/logs/*_log {
This same configuration tweak was already done on skynet (see ticket #144) and on dev.
We still need to set up AWStats on dev and server, which will be more involved. We need to do this before 52 weeks have elapsed, or else the oldest logs will "rotate off the bottom" and be lost without having been analyzed. (In the case of dev, this has almost certainly already happened.) See ticket #2003.
Of course, the Jenkins job updating the statistics and usage map needs to be told about this.
