Logs not rotating for long time

Hi, my log files are becoming huge and it is difficult to search them or go over them.

Please fix this problem. Mainly i have seen this issue with access logs and error logs. When are the logs rotated and what is the maximum number of log files that are supported?

That does look strange; normally log files are rotated daily, if they are >100KiB in size, and are kept up to the 10.gz version of the file. We'll look into it.

Thanks please take a look asap. The current size of the file has reached 75M.

We're investigating; it certainly does look like your logs and sever other users' aren't being rotated correctly, and we've added some debugging stuff to try to work out why. We'll post back when we have more information or (hopefully) when we've fixed it.

Hey @giles, any update on this? The current size has reached a size of 135M

We are still working on that.

We're still working on the general problem, but we've found that we can at least rotate logs on a per-account basis, so we've done that for you, @rupeshthakare.

If anyone else is being impacted by the same problem and urgently needs a manual rotation, let us know.

We'll post further when the problem is fully fixed.
