New page

==Magento Log Rotate with logrotate==

Have you ever had your Magento logs get so large you run out of disk quota. Maybe you would like to setup a log rotation for your Magento logs, it only makes sense all other major logs get rotated...right.

Let setup a cron that will rotate your magento logs (exception.log && system.log).

===Lets create the logrotate configuration file===

note, you will need to set your path to log files

vim magento-logrotate.conf

now add the following to the magento-logrotate.conf file

/path/to/magento/var/log/*log {
rotate 7
daily
compress
}

===Add a Daily cron to rotate your logs===

@daily /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /path/to/magento-logrotate.conf

This will compress the old logs and keep 7 days worth of logs
