production.rb

# Log Rotate by initialising logger from the app 

#Way one

# reference : http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/logger/rdoc/Logger.html#method-c-new
# This one from Atinder Singh https://medium.com/@atinders/easy-log-rotation-with-rails-5-7b8d3c173461

# config/environments/production.rb

Rails.application.configure do
config.logger = Logger.new(config.paths["log"].first, 5, 10.megabytes)
end

# Number of files : 5
# Maximum file size : 10.megabytes

#Way two

# Alternate way with log rotate

# For log rotation on a daily basis
/var/www/rails/my_app/log/*.log {
        daily
        missingok
        copytruncate
        rotate 14
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
}

# For long term log rotation based on log file size
/var/www/rails/my_app/log/*.log {
        size 2G
        missingok
        copytruncate
        rotate 7
        compress
        nodelaycompress
        notifempty
        dateformat .%Y%m%d
