How to set up log rotation
Log storage parameters in VictoriaLogs.
Where rotation is configured
Rotation parameters are set in the resource VLSingle of the VictoriaLogs component (API group operator.victoriametrics.com).
To configure VLSingle for a specific cluster, open the Management Cluster, then go to the side menu section Administration → Custom Resources. In the operator.victoriametrics.com API group, select the VLSingle resource, then open the VLSingle object in the namespace of the desired cluster.
