what i do is setup a cron job which runs daily or every second day, creates a tar.gz and copies them to a seperate location, and then another cron job which clears up archives more than one month old. That seems to be the way to go, i don't think you will find a postgresql.conf parameter which does that

Hello
Recently an application endless loop crashed the PG server.
I am looking for the safest way to limit the growth of the all the files in the "pg_log" directory,
While still maintain reasonable period of log.
Any suggestions?
Our current setup is:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
redirect_stderr = on
log_line_prefix = '%m'
client_min_messages = error
log_min_messages = error
log_filename = 'CTMD-%d.log
log_truncate_on_rotation = on
log_rotation_age = 1d
log_rotation_size = 10MB
Thanks
