Run "man logrotate" or google logrotate to get more information on command. See attached sample configuration file - logrotate.conf.
- SSH to server as root.
- Run logrotate manually in test mode:
logrotate -dv /etc/logrotate.confIt produces output describing what logrotate would do, without actually doing it. - Save
/etc/logrotate.conf - Add new section to /etc/logrotate.conf based on requirement. See sample file for reference.
