Log Rotation enhancement about stigman-watcher HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @zirus001
Thanks for the suggestion, glad this tool is working out for you! However, this suggestion is a bit out of scope for this utility. Our intent is to keep it extremely lightweight, and our recommendation when using the tool in production would be to use an external tool to manage it, and it's logs. Some tools could manage it as a service, and that tooling should be able to capture our log entries from STDOUT, rather than our optional file.
I think some users have used WinSW for this: https://github.com/winsw/winsw
https://github.com/winsw/winsw/blob/v3/docs/logging-and-error-reporting.md

I think other users have had luck with PM2: https://github.com/Unitech/pm2

There are lots of ways to rotate logs, and lots of tools specifically focused on it that could cater to your specific needs. I haven't used graylog, but that might be the best solution for you!

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Hey @cd-rite,
Yeah between evalute-stig, Stig-manager, and Stig watcher it's better than any other automated scap process out there.
That's fine. I think my intent was to just keep the log from filling up the hard drive in the long term. When we pickup the logs with graylog there is no need to keep them on the OS. I'll just make a process for shutdown that will delete the file and upon reboot it will re-create it. Thanks!
