Log rotation is a critical process that prevents log files from consuming excessive disk space, ensuring smooth database operations. Automating log rotation enhances performance and simplifies maintenance for database administrators.
Log rotation systematically archives, compresses, or deletes old logs based on size or time-based policies. It is essential for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases to maintain organized logs, improve security, and optimize storage.
Misconfigured rotation policies and excessive log retention can cause system slowdowns. Our blogs provide expert guidance on configuring efficient log rotation.
