Rotating the STDOUT logfile
Oracle WebLogic Server 12c does not provide an out of the box configuration to rotate the STDOUT and STDERR logfiles in runtime (.out file). In the previous recipe, as a workaround, it was redirected to the server logfile and disabled.
Fortunately in Linux, the included logrotate command-line tool can do the job.
In this recipe, the logrotate will be configured to run hourly and rotate all .out files from the PROD_DOMAIN WebLogic instances larger than 50 MB. It will rotate to the limit of 20 files, repeating the configuration of the server logfiles in the previous recipe.
Getting ready
The logrotate settings must be configured in the machine shell. To do this log in to the prod01 machine.
