For starters: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
emerge logrotate |
| 13 |
man logrotate |
| 14 |
vi /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Also, if there is a particular message that is filling up your log, you |
| 17 |
can filter that out in /etc/syslog.d/syslog-ng.conf. For example: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
# The eth reset messages also bug me... |
| 20 |
filter not_eth_reset { |
| 21 |
not(match("PHY reset until link up")); |
| 22 |
}; |
| 23 |
... |
| 24 |
log { source(src); filter(not_nmbd); filter(not_eth_reset); |
| 25 |
destination(messages); }; |
| 26 |
... |
| 27 |
