Matthew,
I do indeed have that file on my Qube 3. So I assume if I take out the
"weekly" under the rotate logfiles weekly that would do it ? Or can I change
it to "monthly" ? And does this change take affect when the file is saved ?
The weekly line indicates how often to rotate. I would leave it alone.
Here is how it shows:
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
This is all I changed on mine, the amount of backlogs. Since I have plenty
disk space and a lightly loaded server, I just put in
rotate 9999
I also have compression enabled, I don't recall if that was on by default
or not. I know one thing for sure, on a RaQ4 I once maintained, /var was a
separate small partition. You can cause major problems if the Qube uses
this scheme, and /var fills up with logs.
From the command line execute
df -h
to see how your disk usage is right now. If you increase the backlog rate
at all, keep a close eye on disk usage over the coming months to make sure
it doesn't fill up. I have logwatch installed and I get a daily report on
disk usage.
