in the what is the %F mean? did not see it in the docs

Additionally in the docs https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/rotatelogs.html seems like there is a keyword of 'common' yet no explanation what does the word common do?

%F may be from the module mod_log_firstbyte and is "the time spent processing the request excluding the time required for receiving and sending data." Sometimes this is called "time to first byte".

Search your configs for a line like "loadModule log_firstbyte_module"

"common" is the name of a LogFormat that's present in the default configuration. Here's the definition from the mod_log_config manual:

"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"

But in this case, %F is not part of a LogFormat but passed by rotatelogs to your systems strftime() function as part of a filename.

If %F actually means something on your system (it doesn't on mine) you can check man 3 strftime and look for it.
