Hello evryone,
is there a specific reason on why there is no logging option in de docker compose regarding the minio & mender-mongo?

for example this

minio:
    environment:
        MINIO_ACCESS_KEY: 
        MINIO_SECRET_KEY: 
    volumes:
        - mender-artifacts:/export:rw
    logging:
        options:
            max-file: "10"
            max-size: "50m"

mender-mongo:
    volumes:
        - mender-db:/data/db:rw
    logging:
        options:
            max-file: "10"
            max-size: "50m"

Hello and thanks for your interest in Mender.

not to my knowledge. minio as such does not log much, without extra configuration. and we left mender-mongo logs at default level (or the ones defined globally).
Does that bother you in any way? Do you need some specific values for your environment?

Hello @peter

well a month ago i had to cleanup my mender production 1.7.0 which at this point just over a year old
the logging was standard (using the docker daemon) but the mender-mongo already took over 5gb of space over logging, thus i changed to docker daemon to forward the logs to syslog and letting it logrotate.

now to be fair, the polling rate is set on 5 seconds on purpose, which probably is the reason it grew as fast as it did, i do have some device inventory items that require this frequent polling interval, i was just wondering if there was some specific reason this was not set
