Better to make use of monthly, weekly, daily, hourly type logs in syslog-ng, and the to use cront to clean up as needed ;) On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 5:50 PM, William Tambellini <William.Tambellini@galaxysemi.com> wrote:

Dear Syslog-ng team,

 We are currently evaluating syslog-ng in order to satisfy some requests from our customers regarding logs from our software.

 One of their requests is to limit log file size using some kind of rotation algo : if size > 6Mo then rotate to another file.

 We have found some options in file destination like fifo buffer control but nothing about files rotation.

 Is there anything for that kind of feature ?

Regards

WT.
