The `logrotate` command closes and reopens the log file. This is intended to help with log rotation on Linux file systems.
Most Linux systems come preinstalled with a [`logrotate`](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate) program, which is separate from this command. Application specific log rotation scripts are placed in `/etc/logrotate.d`
The following script is a sample that can be created as `/etc/logrotate.d/rippled`
```
/var/log/rippled/*.log {
daily
minsize 200M
rotate 7
nocreate
missingok
notifempty
compress
compresscmd /usr/bin/nice
compressoptions -n19 ionice -c3 gzip
compressext .gz
postrotate
/opt/ripple/bin/rippled --conf /opt/ripple/etc/rippled.cfg logrotate
endscript
}
```
You can configure parameters such as `minsize` and `rotate` depending on the amount of logs you keep. Use the `log_level` setting in your `rippled.cfg` file to configure how verbose your server's logs are. This sample script is based on standard `log_level` and will store approximately 2 weeks worth of logs in a compressed format.
**Note:** You should have only one system logrotate script per application. Please ensure that you do not have any other log rotation that handles the same directory.
_The `logrotate` method is an [admin method](admin-rippled-methods.html) that cannot be run by unprivileged users._
