Config Property Description

S3 upload properties

All of the following properties needs to defined for s3 upload to work.

• aws.credentials.accessKeyId (Defaults to null): This is access key id of your aws account.
• aws.credentials.secretAccessKey (Defaults to null): This is secret key of your aws account.
• logBucketSetting.bucket (Defaults to null): This is region of your s3 in aws.
• logBucketSetting.s3Path (Defaults to null): This is s3 path in bucket where all your logs would be kept.
• logBucketSetting.s3FilePathFormat (Defaults to __year__/__month__/__day__/__ip__/__filename__): This is key path where your logs would be uploaded. Here __year__, __month__, __day__, __ip__, __filename__, and __epoch__ are place holders for dynamic value to be inserted in key path. One of two properties should be set for this to work.
• getAWSPublicIp (Defaults to false): This extracts the public ip of ec2 instance from aws meta data api and set the key path.
• serverIp (Defaults to null): This is the static value of ip of server that needed to be passed.

PM2 log rotate properties

• max_size (Defaults to 10MB): When a file size becomes higher than this value it will rotate it (its possible that the worker check the file after it actually pass the limit) . You can specify the unit at then end: 10G, 10M, 10K
• retain (Defaults to all): This number is the number of rotated logs that are keep at any one time, it means that if you have retain = 7 you will have at most 7 rotated logs and your current one.
• compress (Defaults to false): Enable compression via gzip for all rotated logs
• dateFormat (Defaults to YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm-ss) : Format of the data used the name the file of log
• rotateModule (Defaults to true) : Rotate the log of pm2's module like other apps
• workerInterval (Defaults to 30 in secs) : You can control at which interval the worker is checking the log's size (minimum is 1)
• rotateInterval (Defaults to 0 0 * * * everyday at midnight): This cron is used to a force rotate when executed. We are using node-schedule to schedule cron, so all valid cron for node-schedule is valid cron for this option. Cron style :

*    *    *    *    *    *
