You may wish to rotate the logs on your Posit Workbench, Package Manager, or Connect server. Whether to keep log files small, or to pass these files into third party solutions, it helps to know how this can be achieved.
It's worth noting that this topic is more related to Linux, and is formally outside of the Posit support SLA.
Largely, this involves creating new entries in your /etc/logrotate.conf file for the log file that you wish to rotate. Then, you can use the create function which follows the following syntax:
create [mode] [user] [group]
For example, if you wanted to set 644 permissions on rstudio-connect.log , for both the rstudio-connect user & group, then you would set the following in your /etc/logrotate.conf:
/var/log/rstudio/rstudio-connect/rstudio-connect.log {
rotate 30
daily
copytruncate
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
missingok
su root root
create 644 rstudio-connect rstudio-connect
