1. Logrotate

+ +

Logrotate + allows automatic rotation, compression, + removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may + be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows + too large. I have used Mikhail Kolesnik from openbunker, + use syslog-ng as example how to create package from now on.

+ + 
+        $ sudo prt-get depinst logrotate
+        $ sudo vim /etc/logrotate.conf
+
+ + 
+        IMPORTANTE
+
+        Preciso por o logrotate a comprimir apenas depois do
+        segundo ciclo para o samhain ficar feliz.
+
+        Thus log rotation will be handled gracefully as long
+            as the inode is kept (i.e. the old file is moved rather than copied)
+            and the first rotated file is not compressed (the logrotate tool can
+            be told to compress only after the second cycle, and on Debian this
+            seems to be standard anyway).
+
+ + 
+        # see "man logrotate" for details
+        # rotate log files weekly
+        weekly
+
+        # keep 5 weeks worth of backlogs
+        rotate 5 
+
+        # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
+        create
+
+        # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
+        compress

You can force logrotate to test configuration;

+ + 
+        # logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
