[cobalt-users] [Raq4] low memory everyday. A logs rotation trouble you can't solve?

["Paride Lolli" <p.lolli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks: I was thinking about logrotate twice a day but I will consider your
suggestion, too.
Are you sure you don't have other effects? I mean: we don't use
 the built in statistics but we rely on NetTracker.
Do you have any idea if this will affect NetTracker analysis?

INMHO, it's really strange that you can't find any suggestion or
solution about this trouble in Cobalt Knowlegdebase
I suppose it would happen on every RAQ with relevant traffic
