I just noticed that on our production server the ~/logs/ folder is starting to take up quite a bit of space. It looks like it logs every time there is a _beforeSave or _afterSave trigger - of which we have a lot.
Does Parse automatically delete logs after some time or do I have to manage log retention manually?
Any thoughts on best practice for this?
Depending on your setup a crow job to delete your log.
Actually the log rotated built in to parse server supports deleting files, it’s just not implemented. Perhaps we can add a server option like maxLogFiles and default it to a week or something. What do you think?
That would actually be really good. Feels nicer than a cron job. And I think a week sounds like a good default too.
I opened a PR. https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/6296
You can use my branch and run this to test if logs are deleted.
