Description
GMN log content (gmn.log, gmn_replication.log, and gmn_sysmeta.log) can be quite verbose and voluminous, causing filesystem congestion and viewing frustration. Most Linux derivatives support a system mechanism for automated log rotation, such as the "logrotate" application. Add "logrotate" capability as part of the GMN deployment, including appropriate documentation. See below for a sample "logrotate" script:
"/var/local/dataone/gmn/lib/python2.7/site-packages/service/*.log" {
size=100M
