(Defaults to10M
): When a file size becomes higher than this value it will rotate it (its possible that the worker check the file after it actually pass the limit) . You can specify the unit at then end:10G
,10M
,10K
retain
(Defaults to30
file logs): This number is the number of rotated logs that are keep at any one time, it means that if you have retain = 7 you will have at most 7 rotated logs and your current one.compress

in secs) : You can control at which interval the worker is checking the log's size (minimum is1
)rotateInterval
(Defaults to0 0 * * *
everyday at midnight): This cron is used to a force rotate when executed. We are using node-schedule to schedule cron, so all valid cron for node-schedule is valid cron for this option. Cron style :TZ
(Defaults to system time): This is the standard tz database timezone used to offset the log file saved. For instance, a value ofEtc/GMT-1
, with an hourly log, will save a file at hour14
GMT with hour13
