Resolved Stop error log getting too big

[GeneralTomfoolery]

Hi folks, low level question for you...

My error log file is huge, nearly 1/2gb! How do I make Plesk archive smaller files when it gets to a certain size to keep it manageable? I think my server used to do this but I must have broken it a while back.

I'm using Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11

I'm don't know an amazing amount about servers so please be gentle in your response.

Well you didnt tell which error log is it so I just can guess you are talking about error log from a domain..
please see:
How to manage log rotation for a domain in Plesk
Logs are not being rotated for domain
Error_log has a big size for one of the domains and disk space is full

Thank you, I followed the instructions to manage the log files and it was already set up to rotate so I've given up on that idea.
Do you know how to empty the log file? I'm scared to delete it!
