Hi Shyamkant,
If you want purge the log file you set log_truncate_on_rotation=on in postgresql.conf
but this log_truncate_on_rotation works on time-drivan basic not on size, so you need to also specify log_rotation_age=1d .
You can restrict the size with log_rotation_size=10MB , but after 10MB it will create new file of 10MB again.
You can't use both the log_truncate_on_rotation & log_rotation_size at same time.
Thanks & Regards,
