The squid log file is too large. How can this problem be solved?

 

Squid is compressed once every 5 days by default. It is set in/etc/logrotate. d/squid. If you modify the log location,

Modify/etc/logrotate. d/squid

/Home/log/squid/access. Log {
Weekly
Rotate 5
Copytruncate
Compress
Notifempty
Missingok
}
/Home/log/squid/cache. Log {
Weekly
Rotate 5
Copytruncate
Compress
Notifempty
Missingok
}

/Home/log/squid/store. Log {
Weekly
Rotate 5
Copytruncate
Compress
Notifempty
Missingok
# This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own.
# Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth
# Doing it just to rotate logs
Postrotate
/Usr/sbin/squid-K rotate
Endscript
}

First modify squid. conf

Logfile_rotate 3 (retain several logs)

Modify/etc/crontab

0 0 *** squid/home/squid/sbin/squid-K rotate

(Compressed once a day)

Crontab/etc/crontab (crontab takes effect)
