Over time, the Bitwarden_RS log file can grow to a significant size. Using logrotate, we can periodically rotate logs.
```sh
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/bitwarden
```
```sh
/var/log/bitwarden/*.log {
# Perform logrotation as the bitwarden user and group
su bitwarden bitwarden
# Rotate daily
daily
# Rotate when the size is bigger than 5MB
size 5M
# Compress old log files
compress
# Keep 4 rotations of log files before removing or mailing to the address specified in a mail directive
rotate 4
# Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy
copytruncate
# Don't panic if not found
missingok
# Don't rotate log if file is empty
notifempty
# Add date instaed of number to rotated log file
dateext
# Date format of dateext
dateformat -%Y-%m-%d-%s
}
```
To view a compressed log file without manually decompressing:
```sh
zcat logfile.gz
zless logfile.gz
zgrep -i keyword_search logfile.gz
```
