Hi all,
I am using Icecast 2.4.4 on Centos 7. This worked fine in the past on an old
Windows machine but now I?m having issues getting the logs to change file size
and name. I am trying to get my file size to be 2 MB
<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<!-- <playlistlog>playlist.log</playlistlog> -->
<loglevel>1</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1
Error -->
<logsize>2048</logsize> <!-- Max size of a logfile -->
<!-- If logarchive is enabled (1), then when logsize is reached
the logfile will be moved to [error|access|playlist].log.DATESTAMP,
otherwise it will be moved to [error|access|playlist].log.old.
Default is non-archive mode (i.e. overwrite)
-->
<logarchive>1</logarchive>
</logging>
What I am getting from this are file default file names:
access.log-20190428 as well as large file sizes, up to 27MB
Any ideas?

This is competing with the internal mechanism of Icecast that you enabled. My general recommendation is to use the system tooling and - if necessary - configure it to your needs. In case of Logrotate you can configure retention, compression and some other parameters. The built in Icecast functionality is mostly there to help people who deploy it outside of the operating system context or on Windows. For reference here's a link to RHEL 7 documentation (If you are running CentOS 8, you'll have to look for RHEL 8): https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system_administrators_guide/ch-viewing_and_managing_log_files Cheers, Thomas
Awesome I will read about that in a little bit here. Thank you for the tip!
