flex-rotate-init
Applicable in Init-class directives.
The flex-rotate-init function configures log rotation for all log files on the server, including error logs and the common-log, flex-log, and record-useragent AddLog SAFs. Call this function in the Init section of magnus.conf before calling flex-init. The flex-rotate-init function enables you to specify a time interval for rotating log files. At the specified time interval, the server moves the log file to a file whose name indicates the time of the move. The log functions in the AddLog stage in obj.conf then start logging entries in a new log file. The server does not need to be shut down while the log files are being rotated.
Note –
The server keeps all rotated log files so clean them up as necessary to free disk space.
By default, log rotation is disabled.
