hi 

can i achieve this by modifying the logrotate.conf file

# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    minsize 1M
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

once i uncomment the "keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs " line , can i achieve my 
goal ?

hi cduke ,

i found a method to do it. by modifying the following line in  config.php file.

define('LOGROTATERETENTION', 90);

my requirement is not to have just last 90 days log , i have to keep all logs 
in my
database without dropping even a single log 

for the is purpose how can i set the  LOGROTATERETENTION variable ?

plz be kind enough to reply me soon.

Set the LOGROTATERETENTION to whatever number you want, but just be aware that 
if you
have a large amount of logs, then your system will eventually get very slow.
