The log files are rotated periodically by logrotate. access_log
becomes access_log.1 (etc) and a new access_log is opened.
Have a look at the logrotate man pages and /etc/logrotate.conf and
/etc/logrotate.d/apache for info on configuring to your requirements.
Personally, if you're extracting some kind of information from the
log files, I'd setup a cron job to do it nightly. This way your log
files don't become huge.
