Looking for this interface?
Note:

Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface for resellers in WHM's Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges interface (WHM >> Home >> Resellers >> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges).

Overview

This interface configures Apache to use a single target for all virtual host access and bandwidth logs. The system then pipes the combined logs to a helper application (the splitlogs binary), which splits them into separate domain logs. This option reduces the number of log files that Apache manages, which requires less system resources.

Note:
We recommend this option for systems with a large number of domains.

Enable Piped Log Configuration

This feature’s setting defaults to Enabled.
