Re: [clamav-users] [ext] Compressing log files with clamav
There are no plans to add compression for log files. And I can't recall any prior feature request asking for this though I see the appeal. Feel free to put in a feature request issue on GitHub. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add this feature. If anyone wants to contribute this feature, you're welcome to. My team is unfortunately down a developer, and already behind on other work. It is unlikely that we'll pick it up ourselves. Regards, Micah Micah Snyder ClamAV Development Talos Cisco Systems, Inc.

I guess this might be useful in docker or a similar container, but it would be a lot if work to do it on every platform and unless you include the right optional features, a lot of people will use logrotate anyway. -- Andrew C.

Use logrotate:
==
/var/log/clamav/clamav.log {
rotate 7
daily
compress
delaycompress
create 640 clamav adm
postrotate
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
systemctl -q is-active clamav-daemon && systemctl kill --signal=SIGHUP
clamav-daemon || true
else
invoke-rc.d clamav-daemon reload-log > /dev/null || true
fi
endscript
}
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log {
rotate 28
daily
compress
delaycompress
missingok
create 640 clamav adm
postrotate
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
systemctl -q is-active clamav-freshclam && systemctl kill
--signal=SIGHUP clamav-freshclam || true
else
invoke-rc.d clamav-freshclam reload-log > /dev/null ||true
fi
endscript
}
