QUESTION logrotate?

[n9yty]

I saw this come up in an old discussion about v13-13 (or something like that) about logrotate not working properly, but on IncrediblePBX2021 I don't even see logrotate configured for asterisk files.

What is the recommended rotation/cleanup method, or is there none?

You might want to look at this article from Ward's Nerdvittles. https://nerdvittles.com/housekeeping-101-managing-your-asterisk-backups-and-logs/. Hope this will help.

@hawk#1 Thanks, I appreciate that. I did see that article, but it just seems odd to manually manage something for which the system has a longstanding method of handling automatic rotation. Perhaps Ward believes you shouldn't ever throw information away and so doesn't believe in a "rotation" but rather a "backup, save and start over" approach. I'd be quite happy with rotation, so maybe I'll have to pursue it myself.

I also did find it odd that it wasn't part of the 2021 package becuase, as I say, it was mentioned in the v13 forum post that Ward was a part of and it looked like it was part of the official "plan" at the time.
