logrotations - just what should be rotated

[forlinuxsupport]

Hey All

Im really concerned with the logs that arnt setup to rotate by cpanel.
I dont know if cpanel thinks they are irrelevent or if that just dont know about them.

My main concerns are logs going over 2 gig mark (dom logs), but that is discusssed in another thread.

What about the other apache logs, not in the domlogs folder ??
also
The logs in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/logs ?

Shall I just create my own rotate jobs for them and hope for the best ?
Which processes neeed restarting once logs have been rotatte.. just syslogd ??

Anyone know of any onther logs that should be setup to rotate, please add them here

Thanks for the help.
Andy

Hey guys

Anyone know if you cant symlink the domlogs directory to another partition ??

I have done this and the logging works fine, but I have noticed that at the end of the month the domlogs are NOT rotating anymore.

I have told cpanel to archive the log at the end of the month, which it does correctly, but it doesnt empty the domlog file !%!#!

I check in Tweak settings and the option ot KEEP logs at the end of month is also off.

Thnaks for the help.

The best tutorial i found was on EV1 forums. Search for "Let talk about log rotation". It fixes everything to do with log rotation. :D
