Over 40GB log files how to reduce logging? - Outbreaker - 11-22-2011 12:50 AM

HI Smile

Yesterday i noticed that i had only 10 GB of free hard disk space. After searching i found out that the folder "/var/log/apache2" has log files over 3GB's how can i fix this so only X days are logged?

Take a look at the logrotation scripts you find below /etc/logrotation/ .. you may need to change the path's there. Alternatively you can create a simple cronjob ala :

find /var/log/apache2 -ctime +60 |xargs rm -f

um alle Dateien älter als 60 Tage zu löschen.
Das ist natürlich die Holzhammermethode. logrotation is besser Wink

Ok did set in the /etc/logrotate.d/ispcp file under:
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
rotate 52
TO
rotate 1

Hop this will fix it one year of log files is over kill.
