Rebex TLS Proxy v1.7: How do set the logging config to clean old logs or to limit the folder to a specific size?

Question

In my config.yaml I have the following on the logging section:

logging:
  global:
    location: C:\RebexProxy\x64\Logs\
    minLevel: Information
  access:
    location: C:\RebexProxy\x64\Logs\
    minLevel: Information

Is there a way to set a maximum amount of size that the log folder can have or a way to clean old logs and define what age a log is considered 'old'?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Nuno

Unfortunately, this is not configurable.

Current settings are:

• Max file size = 1GB.
• File retention = 31 files.

However, we consider to make it configurable in one of future versions.

Thank you very much for the hasty reply and the info.
I will go with a workaround.

Have a good day.

new Rebex.FileLogWriter(logPath, Rebex.LogLevel.Info);

I observed Rebex.FileLogWriter opens the log file in overwrite mode, not append mode. Is it true? Can we do it in append mode or we have to make it custom?

It seems that you are asking a question in a wrong thread. The original question is related to Rebex TLS Proxy, which is a standalone application.
I have created a separate question for your comment. Please see my answer there: https://forum.rebex.net/23496/opening-the-log-file-in-append-mode
