TS log size

[Geert Lugtenberg <ge...@poort80.nl>]

Hi all,

In my trafficserver log folder, I have encountered several logs that are over 1gb in size -- traffic.out being the largest at 3gb. I know that the default settings in records.config are to roll logs greater than 10mb once per 24h at 0:00, and to autodelete .old logs. However, I have not changed these settings, but I still have logs of great size. We don't want any downtime, so it's a problem for us to stop trafficserver and delete these logs.

Anyone know what's going on?

Only "access" logs and error logs are rotated. We've made some attempts to 
reduce the pressure on traffic.out fairly recently, but we really ought to 
start rotating (or clean out) traffic.out as well. I believe there's a bug 
filed for this somewhere in Jira.
