Log Files
This chapter explains the location and contents of log files generated on a LEAF Bering-uClibc router, the configuration
in syslog-ng, maintenance with logrotate and how to use spacecheck in lrp.conf.
In a space constraint and long running environment like LEAF Bering-uClibc, it will be useful to understand how log files, which tends to grow unlimited, are created and maintained.
Note: Remote logging is not described in this chapter.

Log file maintenance
The task of log file maintenance is accomplished by /usr/bin/logrotate.
logrotate is started daily, weekly and monthly from /etc/cron.daily/multicron-d, /etc/cron.weekly/multicron-w and /etc/cron.monthly/multicron-m.
logrotate keeps the configuration files in /etc/logrotate.d, usually named after the application generating the log file (e.g /etc/logrotate.d/ulogd.
