WebLogic Server log rotation of stdout

1. Run this command:

crontab -e

2. Save the following cron job:

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -s $HOME/scripts/logrotate.out $HOME/scripts/logrotate.conf

3. Search for all .out files on the server to find out what needs to be rotated:

find /u01 -name "*.out"

4. Run these command:

mkdir -p ~/scripts 

vi ~/scripts/logrotate.conf

5. Add an entry for every .out file on the server. This is an example:

/u01/app/oracle/middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/nodemanager.out {
    missingok
    copytruncate
    compress
    rotate=10
    size=50M
}
/u01/app/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/soadomain/servers/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.out {
    missingok
    copytruncate
    compress
    rotate=10
    size=50M
}
/u01/app/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/soadomain/servers/soa_server1/logs/soa_server1.out {
    missingok
    copytruncate
    compress
    rotate=10
    size=50M
}
