Compressing Commonlogging files

Google Cloud Apigee
1

Hello,

Is there any way to compress the CommonLogging files?

I am curently using the below configuration but I want to compress the older files as they are using too much space.

{logData}

ABCD.log

TIME_SIZE
20
30
1440

Also, I tried to compress them using cronjobs but the “MaxFilesToRetain” doesn’t seem to work on the already compressed files and I end up with more than 30 files.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

One way we follow is, we move the logs older than a week to another storage server using cron. That helps us maintain the space management in Apigee components. also we do push the logs to splunk, so it’s safe for us to remove Apigee old logs.
