RHCSA Questions with Correct
Answers

How are the log files created by 'rsyslog' prevented from growing until they use up all
your storage? - Answer-They are rotated by 'logrotate', which is scheduled to run as a
daily cron job.

The 'cronie' scheduler runs logrotate daily, as per '/etc/cron.daily/logrotate'. For most
logs logrotate performs weekly rotation and keeps 4 weeks of backlogs. This can be
configured in /etc/logrotate.conf

Imagine you're logging into a customer's server to resolve an issue they've logged via
your ticketing system. How would you ensure your name and the ticket number appear
alongside the log entry showing your connection -- so they know who and why the
connection was made -- should they ever perform an audit? - Answer-logger -p
authpriv.info 'Acloud Guru: Tkt #10869'

NEVER write directly to the log files. At best, your entry will be overwritten; at worst, the
file could become corrupted. Always use 'logger'. Incoming 'ssh' connections are logged
under the 'authpriv' facility; therefore, to ensure your entry appears beneath the entry for
your connection, you must log to that facility with '-p authpriv.info'. Otherwise, the entry
will go into '/var/log/messages'.

How is the systemd journal prevented from filling up your storage? - Answer-systemd-
journald handles rotation internally and can be configured using 'journalctl'.

Although it is true that by default systemd-journald only retains logs for the current boot
instance, Linux boxes can run for years between reboots, so a substantial volume of log
entries could accumulate. To view rotation settings and limits, run 'journalctl | head'.
