Hello,
I’ve just set up a Chef 11 server on Redhat ES6 Server using the Omnibus
installation method. I did it by downloading the rpm and using that to do
the install.
Is there a good guide for setting up logrotate or something similar I can
use to rotate logs and ship them to our central logging server? For example
the access.log for nginx doesn’t appear to be set up to rotate at all.
We’re an apache shop and have used httplog for years to get apache to write
it’s files in a dated format so we could move them off without ever having
to stop apache.
I’m also not familiar with some of the other components of chef to know
what and how I should rotate it. For example /var/log/chef-server/chef-solr
already has 2MB of logs in it. We’re running chef on a VM with a 4GB /var
partition.
Ohai,

Using the omnibus package, the services in Chef 11 Server are managed by runit, and they log through svlogd0.
