To enable log rotation for tomcat-stdOut.log on 19.2

Question

Hi 
 Can anyone advise on how to enable rotatelogs in particular for tomcat-stdOut.log? We recently migrated our QA environment to 19.2 and I noticed that our tomcat-stdOut.log doesn't seem to be rotated at all. Reason to say the log rotation is not in place because I'm simply not able to to find tomcat-stdOut.log with date suffix. 
 Appreciate any assistance that can be provided or reference ot any documentation to configure rotatelogs enable. 
 
 Thanks 
 Julie

If already available and if the logs are not rotating, then open the start-appserver.sh and provide the path of the rotatelogs program. Appian will use that to rotate the log files.

You can find this information in the documentation here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.2/Logging.html#log-rotation

On Ubuntu, I use Logrotate. 
 Create the following file: /etc/logrotate.d/appian-tomcat 
 Paste the following: 
 /<APPIAN_HOME>/logs/tomcat-StdOut.log{ 
 copytruncate 
 daily 
 rotate 30 
 compress 
 missingok 
 size 100M 
} 
 To perform a manual rotation: 
 logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/appian-tomcat
