Hi,

In present version there's no log rotation feature. You need to rely on some OS log rotation model to clear out the logs. 

You can try below one of the methods.

Hi Matt,

There is no direct way to clear the file or limit the file size. You can use below mentioned workaround's to roatate the PEM worker log.

For example.

cat /etc/logrotate.d/pem-7.3

 /var/log/pem/worker.log {

    su root 

    daily

    copytruncate

    rotate 7

    compress

}

2) You can compress the current file and it will be creating a new file.

Hope this helps you.
