Log rotation

Both Console and Defender call log-rotate every 30 minutes. The options passed to log-rotate are described below.

Defender

The default path for Defender’s log file is /var/lib/twistlock/log/defender.log.

It is configured as follows:

Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy, instead of moving the old log file. (copytruncate)

Have 10 backup files rotated. If rotation exceeds 10 files, the oldest rotated file is deleted. (rotate 10)

Don’t generate an error in case a log file doesn’t exist. (missingok)

Don’t rotate the log in case it’s empty. (notifempty)

Rotate the log only if its size is 100M or more. (size 100M)

Compress the rotated logs. (compress)

The default path for Console’s log file is /var/lib/twistlock/log/console.log. It is configured as follows:
