How do I rotate server logs?

How do I rotate server logs on my Linux server?

You can use the logrotate utility to manage log rotation on Linux. Would you like a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps.

First, install logrotate if it's not already installed. Then, create a configuration file in /etc/logrotate.d/ for your specific log file.

What should I include in the configuration file?

You should specify the log file path, rotation frequency, number of backups to keep, and any post-rotation commands.

Can you give me an example of a configuration file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

/var/log/myapp.log {
    daily
    rotate 7
    compress
    missingok
    notifempty
}
