Hi ,

As i look at problem with my renew certificate, i saw than on this file

- nginx\_public\_access.log : size **1329 MB**
- nginx\_public\_error.log : size **326 MB**
- uwsgi\_public.log : size **3MB**

No rotation is apply.

How can reduce the size ?

Pierre

right, we are migrating these files to syslog for that reason, testing right now, if all goes well it well be release as part of the upcoming release.  
for now you can:

```auto
snap stop platform
rm -rf /var/snap/platform/common/log/*.log
snap start platform

```

We have just released a system update which includes the these log files migration to syslog. After the upgrade you can simply remove them.
