What's happened?

... hi I chalk the cron.log, I have every 5mins my cron running, and this is running now for 1 month almost 10,000 lines so far.

do we clear the cron.log file with anther cron job? or do we have to manually clear this log file?

would be nice if you set to clear cron.log and mail.log after 30days

• or rotating 2 weeks ?
• so every 2 weeks the older ones get deleted and the newer ones stay..

Steps to reproduce:

What's expected?

... some sort of automation to clear the cron.log and mail.log

ALSO set this to 0644

chmod 0777 is not good.
chmod 0644 is good and still writes..

for safer solution!

Hi @spirogg

We understood this case, we will check and find a solution.
Maybe, an improvement on Log Handling to allow each log driver clear old logs.

Hi @spirogg

We just only support manual delete a Log Channel when Admin access to AdminCP > Settings > Log Handling and view detail a specific log channel. You can see my screenshot.

We don't support cron job to automatically delete logs because we want Admin to know which logs are logged on their site and they don't be miss.

Regards.
