Procedure 3.9. Managing log files with logrotate

1. To manage your log files with logrotate, place a custom logrotate file for your Software Collection in the system directory for the logrotate jobs /etc/logrotate.d/.
   For example, create the following file:

   %{?scl_prefix}logrotate

2. Ensure that the contents of the logrotate file follow the standard logrotate file format as follows:

   /opt/provider/software_collection/var/log/your_application_name.log {
         missingok
         notifempty
         size 30k
         yearly
         create 0600 root root
     }

3. Add the file to your spec file of the Software Collection package:

   SOURCE2: %{?scl_prefix}logrotate

4. Install the file into the system directory /etc/logrotate.d/ by adjusting the %install section of the Software Collection package's spec file:
