Ethereum Base changes.
Log rotation has landed in geth, via (ethereum/go-ethereum#26843). Log rotation can be activated using the flag --log.rotate. Additional parameters that can be given are:
- --log.maxsize to set maximum size before files are rotated,
- --log.maxbackups to set how many files are retailed,
- --log.maxage to configure max age of rotated files,
- --log.compress whether to compress rotated files
The location the logfile(s) can be configured as previously, using the --log.logfile parameter.
A new log output format, logfmt was added (ethereum/go-ethereum#27001, ethereum/go-ethereum#26970). It can be enabled using --log.format, which currently supports the options json, logfmt or terminal. (Thus, the --log.json option is now deprecated).
And finally, the flag --vmodule was renamed to --log.vmodule (ethereum/go-ethereum#27071).
