Hey guys,
Can I configure a maximum size for this file?
I have had to wipe it out a few times because it's been getting larger than 4GB
Thanks. |

Hey jfha73!
Usually you setup log rotate to truncate the size of the file. You can set it up to automatically rotate it according to a schedule like daily or weekly. It will also compress old files so they take up less space. http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html
Hope that helps!
