Description

The logrotate utility should be installed and preconfigured on Integration (containerized) environments. Running out of storage due to large log files happens for various reasons. Its absence an unexpected inconsistency with clustered (Pro Plan Production and Staging) environments, which have logrotate. Further, the utility is consistently offered by Magento Cloud's hosting competitors.

A couple scenarios in which I have encountered the issue.

  • The Production environment of a Starter Plan is containerized. The normal traffic load of a Production site will cause log size to increase rapidly.
  • If an error exists during a cron run, that error will continuously be logged, causing even unused Integration environments to exceed storage capacity over time.

Research direction

Locate the Integration environment configuration and the existing logrotate setup used by clustered Production and Staging, then compare their rules and deployment path. Confirm the desired preconfiguration for containerized environments and verify that logs rotate without allowing storage to fill.
