How do I implement this desired log rentention?
#1
mburgess
New to nxlog and have it deployed on several test systems.
I have multiple logs under C:\Program Files\nxlog\data called which combined are more than 27GB of data.
nxlog.log.1
nxlog.log.2
nxlog.log.3
and so on...
Are these the logs that are generated by om_file module? How do I rotate these? I've read the documentation, but am a little confused. I've outlined the criteria that I'm wanting to implement for log retention - any help is much appreciated.
Desired Retention Criteria
- Each log file is 100mb in size
- No more than 5 log files
- Anything beyond that is deleted

Hello,
Usually there is internal NXLog logs are placed in this file. But could I see your config to be sure?
Regarding logs rotation you could use code like this:
<Extension _fileop>
Module xm_fileop
# Check the log file size every hour and rotate if larger than 100 MB
# Also no more than five previous files are stored simultaneously
<Schedule>
Every 1 hour
<Exec>
if (file_exists('%LOGFILE%') and file_size('%LOGFILE%') >= 100M)
file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 5);
</Exec>
</Schedule>
</Extension>
