Hi,

 

I need help on PostGres 9.2 version. How to purge the logfile generated by the postgres server? How I can restrict the size of this file?

Rotating logs is kinda the job of the OS (generally speaking).
Assuming you're on a modern unix like OS like Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat
or possibly BSD (Haven't used it in a few years) you will set your
postgresql.conf file to syslog mode, and then the rest of the
configuration is syslog and logrotate. google those two.

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.
