Hi! How do folks manage large
osqueryd.ERROR
and
osqueryd.WARNING
files in
/var/log/osquery
? We recently deployed an log rotate conf for
osqueryd.results.log
but I’m seeing WARNING and ERROR logs files between 5 and 10 MB on some clients.

Is 5-10MB considered too large? If you’re offloading them to a forwarder regularly couldn’t you just update the logrotate conf to rotate earlier?

@clong I’m sorry for the radio silence, I didn’t see this until now. We have a log rotate for conf for our
osqueryd.results.log
only, none for our
ERROR / INFO / WARNING
logs. We could easily do the same for those log types. Do you rotate those logs regularly?
