From db131b6b22350ea73128ac69ea82a48a6cf78a20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:09:46 +0100 Subject: Change the default log config to reduce disk I/O and storage (#8040) * Change default log config to buffer by default. This batches up writes to the filesystem, which is more efficient for disk I/O. This means that it can take some time for logs to get written to disk. Note that ERROR logs (and above) immediately flush the buffer. This only effects new installs, as we only write the log config if started with `--generate-config` (in the same way we do for generating signing keys). * Default to keeping last 4 days of logs. This hopefully reduces the amount of logs kept for new servers. Keeping the last 1GB of logs is likely overkill for new servers, but equally may not be enough for busy ones. Instead, we keep the last four days worth of logs, enough so that admins can investigate any problems that happened over e.g. a long weekend. --- changelog.d/8040.misc | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 changelog.d/8040.misc (limited to 'changelog.d/8040.misc') diff --git a/changelog.d/8040.misc b/changelog.d/8040.misc new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a126151392 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/8040.misc @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Change the default log config to reduce disk I/O and storage for new servers. -- cgit 1.5.1
