Flush the logs

Hi, rm -rf /var/log/* ?

Thank Vitaliy.... also what is the criteria in terms of volume or the no. of days for which the logs are saved on the F5 box. Like either it will save the logs for these many days or this much volume which ever is first achieved??

How to manage logs SOL13367. How to see your current settings:

cat /etc/logrotate.conf

you get number of files will be store (10 files):

 rotate 10

maximum size of unzipped file:

size 100M

Thanks Vitaliy

Hey Vitalily just wanted to ask one thing on the same thread can we increase or decrease the size of file that is stored by the box for one day?

not sure if i understand your question correctly.

by default, log is rotated by time (e.g. daily). if you want to rotate log by size, you have custom logrotate configuration (e.g. size command) and run it more frequently in crontab.

Hi Nitass,

My question was is there a particular size of the daily logs file? lets say the box is going to store logs of up to 200MB and if more is received either it will be dropped or is it like the box will just save the last 200MB received? Secondly if the daily logs file size is fixed to certain value can this be increased?? if yes how

if log partition is full, new log cannot be written to log file.

Secondly if the daily logs file size is fixed to certain value can this be increased??

no, log file is not fixed by size. it is rotated according to logrotate configuration.
