Log rotation

ADS logs can grow in size fairly fast, so we recommend you set up logrotate.

Installation

You can check if logrotate is installed by asking:

logrotate --version

If not, you can install it from a system package. On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install logrotate

Configuration

You need to create a configuration file.

nano /etc/logrotate.d/ads

File contents:

"/home/ads/.adsd/*.log" {
    daily
    weekly
    size 25M
    rotate 7
    missingok
    compress
    delaycompress
    copytruncate
}

That’s it. After the filesize will be bigger than 25M you will see compressed log rotations.
