Nginx access log file size

[Cisneiros]

Hello!

First of all, thank you for the image and documentation. I look forward to using Amplify on my Nginx Docker deployments.

I have a question regarding the Nginx log files. The README tells us to stop forwarding the log files and instead keep them in the container, so Amplify can parse the relevant data from them. My concern is that these logs may grow quite big and eventually fill up the entire disk.

Does the official Nginx image (or Amplify itself) automatically rotate these log files so they don't explode? If not, what steps would you recommend taking to deal with this?

Thank you!

Hi,

I believe you can safely use the "syslog" option here. Check the following sections of the Amplify docs:

https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-amplify-doc/blob/master/amplify-guide.md#configuring-syslog

and

https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-amplify-doc/blob/master/amplify-guide.md#using-syslog-for-metric-collection

You can configure additional logging and point it to the (agent's) syslog.

Hope this helps
