[Feature Request] Support log file rotation #471

Closed iamazeem closed 3 months ago

iamazeem commented 4 months ago

General information

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 Perl version: 5.30.0

OCS Inventory information

Unix agent version: 2.9.0

Problem's description

For the long running agent, the log file (configured with --logfile CLI flag) keeps on increasing up to GiBs. Currently, there's no flag or configuration option to rotate the log file up to a size threshold. Having something like that would greatly help and avoid the need to resort to manual external solutions.

Hi,

This is always exsiting in github version and package version. For github version see contrib/cron directory. In package ocsinventory-agent.logrotate file is written in /etc/logrotate.d directory.

Regards

Hi @fbomj,

Thank you for pointing that out! Could you please confirm whether a similar feature is available for Windows and MacOS too?

Regards!
