log file taking too much space quickly

[BlockgenStudio]

Description

Is there a method to customize the logging storage settings, such as configuring the frequency and level of detail? Currently, the default logging mechanism is causing rapid growth, accumulating 70GB per week, which way exceeds my preferred rate.

Are there any errors in your logs?

[BlockgenStudio]

maybe but not the error that is major. for time being, is there a way just reduce or turn off the log?

[GimluCom]

Why not correct the error? You may configure it in config/ or setup a cron job to delete logs every hour/day.

@BlockgenStudio you can re-configure log rotation in the codebase

Log rotation config looks like and it is configured for each file individually:

blockscout/apps/explorer/config/prod.exs

Line 16 in 81179f9

rotate: %{max_bytes: 52_428_800, keep: 19}

There is no env var to manage log rotation config yet. If you use pre-built image of the Blockscout, you could configure log rotation outside the app via cron as Gimlu noticed.
