The explogrotate.php cronjob #

Logs: rotate the logs over their MaxSize, prune and compress their archives (off unless a part runs it).

Entry point cronjobs/explogrotate.php, code in kernel/private/classes/cronjobs/explogrotate.php.

The code of cronjobs/explogrotate.php: the log rotation cronjob part ([CronjobPart-logs], in no default part, so it
runs only when a site adds it to a part it runs or calls php runcronjobs.php logs). Guide:
doc/eng-us/features/6.0/log-rotation.md, "As a cronjob part".

Each run, through expLogManager: rotates every log over its MaxSize (logviewer.ini [RotationSettings] MaxSize[<key>],
else site.ini [FileSettings] LogFileMaxSize), prunes the archives beyond Keep and MaxAgeDays, and compresses the plain
archives from .2 on of the logs whose Compress is enabled. Every change is recorded in the audit trail.

When it runs #

In the shipped settings/cronjob.ini it belongs to: the part logs.

# run its part (as the user the web server runs as, from the installation root)
php runcronjobs.php logs
./console exp:runcronjobs logs
# run only this script
php runcronjobs.php explogrotate

Add it to a part in an override:

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?
# settings/override/cronjob.ini.append.php
[CronjobPart-logs]
Scripts[]=explogrotate.php
*/ ?>
