Leo,
This can be done through editing of
/etc/logrotate.d/asterisk. This file contains a script
of log rotation. This is a sample file:
/var/log/asterisk/*log {
missingok
rotate 5
weekly
create 0640 asterisk asterisk
postrotate
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' >
/dev/null 2> /dev/null
endscript
}
As you can see, the "rotate 5" means that it will keep
5 old files, you can reduce that number to 2 or 3 to
save some space.
Another thing you can do to save a LOT of space is to
change "weekly" to "daily", this way you will keep
only ONE DAY of logging data in the file.
Third thing you can do is to add "compress" statement
to the script, this will compress the old files.
I think if you'll combine those 3 options, you going
to have a log files that is almost 10% of what you
have now.
Regards.
Samy
