pm2 logging takes free space on AWS EC2 instance

[irenashemesh]

Tried to modify pm2 logging according to http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/log-management/:

by running the app with the following scripts in package.json:

"start": "node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start index.js",
"poststart": "node ./node_modules/.bin/pm2 logs --output "/dev/null" --error "/dev/null"",

This did not help much - after a day 1.5GB of logging.

There is a section in this document named "JSON way", however it is not clear where (which file) this JSON should be used.

We need to disable logs, not manage via logrotate.

PM2 version: `PM2 2.5.0`
Node version: `6.10.0`
Linux

Is the problem applications logs or PM2 logs ? Because it should not output any log with your current configuration.
The "JSON way" is just using what we call a process file, it's just a json file where you put your application configuration

Have you tried to disable the logs: http://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/application-declaration/#disabling-logs

You can try the --disable-logs option:

$ npm install Unitech/pm2#development -g
$ pm2 update
$ pm2 start app.js --disable-logs

Published on PM2 2.6.0:

$ npm install pm2@latest -g
$ pm2 update
$ pm2 start xxx.js --disable-logs
