Automated log rotation

Automated log rotation

IBEX logs are rotated by a script called logrotate.py in C:\instrument\apps\epics\utils\logrotate.py. This script is called nightly by a windows scheduled task.

Currently, for all files not modified within the last 10 days, it:

• Deletes them if they are console logs
• Moves them to stage-deleted otherwise

The scheduled task is added/recreated as an install step in ibex_utils under server_tasks.

A nagios check will use the same script, but in dry-run mode and with a cutoff of 14 days, to notify us if the log rotation stops working.
