Log files and permissions

[silversword411]

Someone was tracking down disk space usage on discord: https://discord.com/channels/736478043522072608/744282073870630912/866698847984418836

The access.log file is pretty huge, getting a new line every 3-6 seconds on my side.

Question 1. Shouldn't that be included in some kind of log rotation function?

Question 2. I mv access.log access1.log and rebooted, and new file is created...but I'm wondering why all the different permissions on every file. Should that be looked at?

This issue looks to be referring to /rmm/api/tacticalrmm/tacticalrmm/private/log/access.log

I'm a believer of one log file using vhost logging style. The distro nginx package already rotates /var/log/nginx/access.log

white may have it split for debugging or development purposes.

log_format vhost_combined '$server_name:$server_port $remote_addr - '
    '$remote_user [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
    '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log vhost_combined;
