How To Control application.log File Size and Backups

Overview

This instruction explains how to control the size of your application log file (Under: /var/log/cloudbolt/) and backups.

Considerations

By default the logging configuration is set in settings.py. Since this file gets overwritten with each update, we want to override this configuration in /var/opt/cloudbolt/proserv/customer_settings.py -- a file that is preserved across CloudBolt updates.

Procedure

Step 1: To override the default logging settings for the application.log file and jobengine.log you can add the following to your customer_settings.py file

This bumps the max size for each log from 5MB to 10MB and retains 10 backups. You can adjust the size and number of backups to suit your environment.
