log-rotate

Rotate a log similar to the way linux logrotate does, appending and updating .NUM indexes as you go.

Example

var rotate = require('log-rotate');

// move a log file while incrementing existing indexed / rotated logs
rotate('./test.log', function(err) {
  // ls ./ => test.log test.log.0
});

options

count

Limit the number of rotated files to count

var rotate = require('log-rotate');

rotate('./test.log', { count: 3 }, function(err) {
  // ls ./ => test.log test.log.0 test.log.1
});

compress

Compress rotated files with gzip

install

With npm do:

npm install log-rotate
