title: Odoo - log archiving?
body: <p>In older versions log archiving was on default and it would archive (mv older log to different log file) daily and kept archives for a week or so. Now on Odoo version 8, it puts everything on one log file and after some time it grows very big. It even takes some time to load that file. Is there a way to get old functionality in some way?</p>
  
  <p>I have these lines in Odoo configuration file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>logfile = home/myuser/var/log/openerp/openerp-server.log
  logrotate = True ;it seems to not do anything or I dont see what it does.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I found for logging about Odoo configuration file (only for v7, so don't know how much it is relevant for v8):</p>
  
  <pre><code># file where the server log will be stored
  logfile = None
  
  # do not rotate the logfile
  logrotate = True
  
  # Send the log to the syslog server
  syslog = False
  
  # setup a handler at LEVEL for a given PREFIX. An empty PREFIX indicates the root logger. This option can be repeated. Example: "openerp.orm:DEBUG" or "werkzeug:CRITICAL" (default: ":INFO")
  log_handler = [':INFO']
  
  # specify the level of the logging. Accepted values: info, debug_rpc, warn, test, critical, debug_sql, error, debug, debug_rpc_answer, notset
  log_level = info
  </code></pre>
