    -- How to install and configure logrotate on aix server

    -- We need logs to be captured in plain text format

    -- Plain text format logs should be rotated to other filesystem.

    you can install logrotate using dnf command:

    dnf install logrotate

    Depending on your requirements you can configure logrotate using logrotate.conf file. There are plenty of manuals how to do it in the Internet.

    Hi,

    Logrotate is provided as part of the AIX Opensource toolbox.  You can install it via dnf, see this page on how to get started - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-get-started.

    After installing logrotate you then configure it to your requirements, this is a useful page for this https://ijalba.wordpress.com/2017/04/06/logrotate-2-configure-logrotate-for-aix/.  Do note, that there are a number of log files on AIX that are not plain text eg wtmp & alog files.

    Phill.
