Mar 14, 2008WA access logs
I am setting up a new deployment of some WA's and was surprised at the lack of any options to manage the access logs. In poking around, I see there's a cron that runs hourly to logrotate at 10MB size. My WA's will be in a pretty high-traffic environment and this seems too low.
I'd be curious to hear what others are doing to manage large amounts of access logs. I'm estimating my logs to be about 600-700MB/day per box.

OK! So after about 2 dozen emails back and forth with support I finally have a workable solution. Thanks to all who contributed. - Joseph_Hicks_36

update: as expected after installing the latest round of hotfixes, these changes get wiped out. Also, I think they got wiped out when I did a reboot a few days ago. Any suggestions from the F5 folks on how to make this "permanent"? - rb1980_75708

can I put the commands in /config/startup? - Ilan_Rabinovitc

Have you considered changing the rotation to nightly instead of hourly by moving the cron job from cron.hourly to cron.daily? - rb1980_75708

You need to re-read my previous post: it IS rotating nightly, as called by the logrotate script in cron.daily. But thanks.
