/var/log/apache2/domlogs/proxy-subdomains-vhost.localhost too large

Hello guys. In several old servers, the /var/log/apache2/domlogs/proxy-subdomains-vhost.localhost file is using several GB of disk space, saving data since 2018 or 2016.... Can I use truncate command to.... truncate this file? Or should I take some care before, like stopping Apache service? If there is a safe way to do it, please give advice. Thanks in advance!

  Hey hey! There's no problem with truncating that file at all:

  Ok, I'm adding this command as a server cronjob, running every 3 months. Should be enough, right? truncate -s 20M /var/log/apache2/domlogs/proxy-subdomains-vhost.localhost && service httpd restart
