size of capisuite.log

[Michael Weis]

Hello everybody,

I just found out that my capisuite.log-file
has reached the size of over 100MB.

My question is:
How can I limit the size of that file
(new file is automatically created when the size
reaches for example 50MB)
without restarting capisuite?

Greetings

Michael

Perhaps you should decrease the verbosity level of CapiSuite? ;)

Limiting the file size is not possible within CapiSuite.

Log rotating is usually done by external tools like the logrotate package.
This requires a restart of the daemon who logs to the files (CapiSuite here).
logrotate allows to define all you usually want: size and age limits, nice
rotating patterns, etc.
