Limiting the log file size in obiee 12c

We need to use logrotate to limit the log file size

Modify the logrotate.conf under etc folder as below:

cat /etc/logrotate.conf

$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/bi/servers/obips1/logs {

    size 50M

    create 700  obiee obiee

    rotate 5

}

Size: 50M – logrotate runs only if the file size is equal to (or greater than) this size.

Create: – rotate the original file and create the new file with specified permission, user and group.

Rotate: – limits the number of log file rotation. So, this would keep only the recent 5 rotated log files.
