[Gluster-users] What exactly does gluster volume log rotate <volume name> do?

[Greg Scott]

I ask because I have this nagging concern my HA appliance I'm trying to build will someday fill its system disk with log info and I won't be able to fix it from 400 miles away.  So I want to rotate the logs and get rid of, say, anything older than 5 rotations.

All the logs are in /var/log/glusterfs, right?  I just tried a gluster volume log rotate <volume name>.  I looked at the log directory before and after, but I don't see anything significantly different.  Not shown below - now I do see evidence of rotated log files in /var/log/glusterfs/bricks.

How I rotate all the logs, not just the ones in .../bricks?

Thanks
