How do I setup the deletion of old logs?

Question

After running yugabyte db for some time, I see that the logs are never deleted. How can I configure the server to delete old logs ?

Answer 1

Currently YugabyteDB doesn't provide an automatic way to delete old logs. You can achieve this by running a bash script in crontab that deletes old files.
