Logging in Conduit.

[Ajay K]

I have a custom app that runs on the conduit and currently I use Winston to log data into the log file. As of now overtime the log file grows significantly in size and I was wondering what is the easiest way to create rolling log files similar to the messages log files under the /var/logs folder? I was hoping curtail the log file reaches a certain size and rollover the next log messages to a new file. My custom app is implemented using NodeJS. Is there any custom logging API in the AEP version that provides this functionality out of box?

Thanks,
Ajay.

I would recommend seeing if logrotate works. It is available on Conduit and is what is used with the syslog output.

Hi Jeff,

I haven’t used logrotate before, is this some kind of configuration I need to implement on the conduit. Is this something I can setup so that it can be handled during the install of the custom app? I was hoping I could get an example scripts you could share, if I can set this up during the install of the custom app.

Thanks,
Ajay
