Hi Everybody,
Postgres log rotation doesnt seem to behave properly, below are
the settings which I used for log rotation. I want the postgres log to
be rotated every week , its past over a week now and it still writing to
the old log. Are these settings right for what I want to achieve ? or am
I missing something ? Please advice, we are planning to go production
soon and dont want to change my settings later.
TIA,
Pallav
