need to add log rotation and deletion to dev.error.log and dev.request.log and dev.uwsgi.log

[goodenou]

The logs dev.error.log, dev.request.log, and dev.uwsgi.log are currently not managed. I found the request log to be over 200GB in size and the error log to be over 2TB in size yesterday. This was causing slowdowns in the response time of the service. We need to add log rotation and deletion for these.

The production server is using logrotate out of the crontab:
/usr/sbin/logrotate -s $HOME/private/logger/logreopen.state $HOME/private/logger/logrotate.ini

You could steal that logrotate.ini and fix a few paths and add the corresponding entry on dev.

I'm not sure I understand the state of this issue. It currently looks like we have two separate procedures according to the crontab:

1 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -s $HOME/private/config/poms/logrotate.state $HOME/private/config/poms/logrotate.conf;
*/30 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -s $HOME/private/logger/logrotate.state $HOME/private/logger/logrotate.ini

The latter looks like the one on the production machine.
Could the first one have been there all along, but wasn't working as intended? If so, should we eliminate it?

@nusense No, do not eliminate it. They are taking care of different files. The log files are structured differently on the dev version than on the prod version, so the prod version alone will not take care of all files. I am still working on this.

Okay, I was just looking through things and didn't understand the detailed status.
If you're working on this issue then I'll leave it be.
