There are two ways to do this - the Java way (logging.properties) and the unix way (logrotate). logrotate has plenty of documentation and is much more flexible, but it's also a bit harder to use because Java already splits the files which would normally be the job of logrotate. Here's an example of rotating Java logs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8342336/how-to-set-maximim-number-of-rolls-and-maximum-log-size-for-tomcat One thing you should be wary of is to keep around told dspace.log files if you care about access statistics. Should you lose your generated statistics (old stats, Solr stats or ES stats), they can all be regenerated from dspace.log files. Of course, the preprocessed files (using stats-log-converter) take up much less space.
