Log rotate should compress non-current log files #107

Closed dcrissman closed 9 years ago

jewzaam commented 9 years ago

Why? If we keep only a subset of logs do we need to bother compressing? Will it impact splunk? Today we keep 50 server.log and it's rotated based on size. I think this comes out of #108 which was initially thought to be a cause of running out of disk. I saw it was heap dumps in the bin dir that was really using disk on at least one node (6.5GB) vs logs (<500MB).

I think Splunk keeps its own copy, but none-the-less, this ticket may be pre-mature. If log size does become an issue, we can deal with it then.
