log-rotate |
|
This document contains information about the Apache APISIX log-rotate Plugin. |
The log-rotate Plugin is used to keep rotating access and error log files in the log directory at regular intervals.
You can configure how often the logs are rotated and how many logs to keep. When the number of logs exceeds, older logs are automatically deleted.
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| interval | integer | True | 60 * 60 | Time in seconds specifying how often to rotate the logs. |
| max_kept | integer | True | 24 * 7 | Maximum number of historical logs to keep. If this number is exceeded, older logs are deleted. |
| max_size | integer | False | -1 | Max size(Bytes) of log files to be rotated, size check would be skipped with a value less than 0 or time is up specified by interval. |
| enable_compression | boolean | False | false | When set to true, compresses the log file (gzip). Requires tar to be installed. |
To enable the Plugin, add it in your configuration file (conf/config.yaml):
plugins:
- log-rotate
plugin_attr:
log-rotate:
interval: 3600 # rotate interval (unit: second)
max_kept: 168 # max number of log files will be kept
max_size: -1 # max size of log files will be kept
enable_compression: false # enable log file compression(gzip) or not, default falseOnce you enable the Plugin as shown above, the logs will be stored and rotated based on your configuration.
In the example below the interval is set to 10 and max_kept is set to 10. This will create logs as shown:
