Log rotation for custom/devel log

[Jürgen]

I would like to adopt the logrotation out of

loader.js

for the devel log but have trouble to loacate the file, where it is created.

loader.js is in the root of the nodebb installation. The log file is at logs/output.log

You definitely misunderstood me. The information you provided was well known to me But probably my question was just not clear enough - it's me to blame

At
admin->advanced->logger it is possible to configure a custom/devel log (works like charm). I'd like to rotate this logfile using the software (and not logrotate.d) since the rotation of the 'main' logfile is already done within the software I thought of adopting the method in loader.js, Therefore I was looking for the place in the code, where the devel.log is defined/created.

Ah that functionality is handled in https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/logger.js
