meteor Mongo Database Management Rotate Log Files on an Ubuntu Box
Example
Gotta rotate those log files, or they'll eventually eat up all of your disk space. Start with some research...
mongodb-log-file-growth
rotate-log-files
Log files can be viewed with the following command...
ls /var/log/mongodb/
But to set up log-file rotation, you'll need to do the following...
// put the following in the /etc/logrotate.d/mongod file
/var/log/mongo/*.log {
daily
rotate 30
compress
dateext
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
copytruncate
postrotate
/bin/kill -SIGUSR1 `cat /var/lib/mongo/mongod.lock 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
// to manually initiate a log file rotation, run from the Mongo shell
use admin
db.runCommand( { logRotate : 1 } )
