Goal: Reduce size of these files on system.

Will make use of logrotate

alvyn279 commented 6 years ago

Logrotate will successfully delete the logs and compress them. However, the running background processes for the server and the db cannot (should not) be restarted just for the sake of logs. Therefore, the output channel level will just repopulate completely server.log with the complete info it had before the logrotate cleanup.

(SOLUTION) Worst case scenario we redirect first output channel of running server to > /dev/null// This allows useless info from requests to not populate and eat up file system memory.
