# Configuration file for Log2Ram (https://github.com/azlux/log2ram) under MIT license. # This configuration file is read by the log2ram service # Size for the ram folder, it defines the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM. # If it's not enough, log2ram will not be able to use ram. Check you /var/log size folder. # The default is 40M and is basically enough for a lot of applications. # You will need to increase it if you have a server and a lot of log for example. SIZE=128M # Select the log syncing method between the log directory on disk and in the RAM. # The variable may be uncommented out, setting it to false, if "cp" is preferred over "rsync". # Currently, this option needs to be unset or set to true for "rsync" to run, # with "cp" available for fallback when "rsync" is missing. # In all other cases, setting USE_RSYNC to anything other than true will default to "cp". #USE_RSYNC=false # If there are some errors with available RAM space, a system mail will be send by default (see next parameter) # Change it to false and you will have only a log if there is no place on RAM anymore. #NOTIFICATION=true # This is a one-line command for the error notification. # By default, it's a email with the command `mail`, the body is passed in stdin. # So you can set any command(like shoutrrr) or custom script for the error notification. #NOTIFICATION_COMMAND=mail -s "Log2Ram Error on $HOSTNAME" # Variable for folders to put in RAM. You need to specify the real folder `/path/folder` , the `/path/hdd.folder` will # be automatically created. Multiple path can be separeted by `;`. Do not add the final `/` ! # example : PATH_DISK="/var/log;/home/test/FolderInRam" PATH_DISK="/var/log" # Should log2ram consider journald and do a log rotate before copying the log files back? Please note that for this # rsync is mandatory. Also make sure that you have configured SystemMaxUse in journald.conf, because the size of this # ram folder is will probably not be as large as journald will use by default JOURNALD_AWARE=true # **************** Zram backing conf ************************************************* # ZL2R Zram Log 2 Ram enables a zram drive when ZL2R=true ZL2R=false is mem only tmpfs ZL2R=false # COMP_ALG this is any compression algorithm listed in /proc/crypto # lz4 is fastest with lightest load but deflate (zlib) and Zstandard (zstd) give far better compression ratios # lzo is very close to lz4 and may with some binaries have better optimisation # COMP_ALG=lz4 for speed or Zstd for compression, lzo or zlib if optimisation or availabilty is a problem COMP_ALG=lz4 # LOG_DISK_SIZE is the uncompressed disk size. Note zram uses about 0.1% of the size of the disk when not in use # LOG_DISK_SIZE is expected compression ratio of alg chosen multiplied by log SIZE # lzo/lz4=2.1:1 compression ratio zlib=2.7:1 zstandard=2.9:1 # Really a guestimate of a bit bigger than compression ratio whilst minimising 0.1% mem usage of disk size LOG_DISK_SIZE=256M
