I use a backup domain admin level auto-Saturday.

But there are some built-in web domain, but only 100mb log (keep 90 days) 3-4Gb any size (she asked, adding that Web traffic only. Over a thousand people per day, making it a very big log).

If your logs are to big you can change your log rotation settings.

Big logs are an alarm, and you should focus on the CAUSE rather than rotating/deleting logs.

You also may have Verbose logging on your sites/apache/nginx so the logs are more detailed. Once one of my client updated his CakePHP based web app with "Debug mode on" which you usually do in Development mode. The log grew @ 10mb per second and filled the entire server drive in 10-12 hours.

Investigate your logs

# This will list logs greater than 20MB

Code: Select all

find /var/log -type f -size +20M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $NF ": " $5 }' 
Then tail -f the biggest log to find what the logs are saying to identify the issue

# Delete logs older than 180 days

Code: Select all

find /var/log/ -type f -mtime +180 -delete
# Delete all .gz and rotated LOG files

Code: Select all

find /var/log -type f -regex ".*\.gz$" -delete
find /var/log -type f -regex ".*\.[0-9]$" -delete
