hi..<br />
Yes, Linux offers a utility to handle the log files. It will automatically create the new log file if log hits to the threshold that you have set on it<br />
<br />
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/<wbr />Master.csv<wbr /> /var/log/asterisk/debug /var/log/asterisk/event_lo<wbr />g /var/log/asterisk/messages<wbr /> {<br />
weekly<br />
missingok<br />
rotate 9<br />
size 512000k<br />
copytruncate<br />
endscript<br />
}<br />
Refer the following link in case if you feeling any difficulty <br />

This is using Linux server. There are 40 GB hard disk space allocated for /. However, found that in /var/log/asterisk, the log file - messages, grows very fast; and within a week or 2, all disk space used up and consequencely, the application stops working. Is there a way to &quot;rotate&quot; the log file, let's say a new log file create if the log hits 500 mb or so?<br />
<br />
Appreciate your help, thanks!

Found asterisk log files growing big very fast and hard disk no more, how?
