#防止日志无限制增加，设置了日志切割工具。logrotate
[root@chy002 ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.conf
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly 每周切割
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs 保留4个
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones 创建新文件
create

# use date as a suffix of the rotated file  文件后缀名
dateext

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed  是否压缩
#compress

#告诉 logrotate 读入存放在/etc/logrotate.d 目录中的日志转储参数，当系统中安装了RPM 软件包时，使用include 选项十分有用。RPM 软件包的日志转储参数一般存放在/etc/logrotate.d 目录。
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory  
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we‘ll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {

    create 0664 root utmp
