Can replace this CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-example.com.log combined
With CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/log/logfile 5M" common

@getluckybyme Please see here for more info on how to configure logrotate:
Apache can be configured to log a large quantity of information to help you diagnose problems and keep an eye on activity. In this guide, we will discuss how Apache handles logging and how you can create your own custom logging rules and rotation schemes.
Over what period of time? If that's in a day then it seems unusual (unless you have very busy sites). If it's in a month then it's not unusual.
Do you have logrotate rotating the log files? You can also set logrotate to compress them, which will reduce them in size significantly.
You can then experiment with how frequently you rotate the logs (i.e. daily or weekly) and how many rotated logs you keep to refer back to.
