How to reduce size of error.log in Nginx? - nginx

Question

I have no idea how to fix this...
2019/01/14 05:15:02 [alert] 27307#27307: *9 write() to "/var/log/nginx/access.log" failed (28: No space left on device) while logging request, client: 108.162.226.175, server: titomi.cf, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock", host: "titomi.cf"
2019/01/14 05:15:22 [error] 27307#27307: *11 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory in /var/www/test/lib/common.lib.php on line 1443" while reading response header from upstream, client: 162.158.118.78, server: test.titomi.cf, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock:", host: "test.titomi.cf"
I think this is access.log error size
How can I reduce the size of access.log?

Answer 1

You probably need log rotation to rotate the logs.
sudo vim /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
notifempty
create 0640 www-data adm
}
Daily: Rotate the logs daily basis
missingok: Do not give output if log is missing
Rotate 14: Will keep the last 14 logs
Compress: Will the compress the old copies of the log files.
You can run the logrotate
logrotate /var/log/nginx/
