Set Permissions

chmod 644 /var/log/messages

Change Log to use /var/log/messages

Set 'log' in /var/www/nmsprime/config/app.php (recommendation: single or syslog)

Configure log rotation in /etc/logrotate.d/nmsprime

/etc/logrotate.d/nmsprime

/var/www/lara/storage/logs/laravel.log {
    weekly
    missingok
    rotate 10
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    create 660 apache apache
    su apache apache
}

If 1) is set to syslog: configure syslog, too

If not using syslog: set proper chown for logfile(s): If cronjob makes the first log entry (e.g. in daily file) this will be set to root:root ⇒ preventing apache from writing (read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27674597/laravel-daily-log-created-with-wrong-permissions)

filter unimportant logs

# ignore systemd session slices for process groups and resource management
echo 'if $programname == "systemd" and ($msg contains "Starting Session" or $msg contains "Started Session" or $msg contains "Created slice" or $msg contains "Starting user-" or $msg contains "Removed slice user-" or $msg contains "Stopping user-") then stop' > /etc/rsyslog.d/ignore-systemd-session-slice.conf

systemctl restart rsyslog
