Hello,

I'm wondering if someone can tell me more about what Clam's logrotate funct=
ionality offers, in particular if it can compress and/or deletes log files?=
 If Clam does compress / delete log files, how is it deciding when to do so=
 (e.g. does it delete log files of a certain age)?

In our current Clam config we don't specify values for either the LogFileMa=
xSize nor the LogRotate settings. From reading the config comments I unders=
tand that LogFileMaxSize will default to 1M and therefore LogRotate will be=
 enabled. When running our container we can see log files being created and=
 rotated once they reach the size of 1M. However, we're seeing that our con=
tainer is slowly getting filled up with these log files as they don't seem =
to be being deleted.

Does Clam's logrotate provide any compressing or deletion of log files? If =
so, what settings does it use? If this isn't functionality that's included =
in Clam's logroate, what's the recommended pattern to follow? I assume that=
 would be to create config for a custom logrotate job which is then coped o=
ver when defining the Clam docker image?

For reference, we're making use of the Clam image clamav:1.0.1 from here<ht=
tps://hub.docker.com/r/clamav/clamav>.

Thank you.
