Lumberjack
Lumberjack is a log rolling library for Go that manages the lifecycle of log files through size-based rotation and backup cleanup. It functions as a log retention manager to prevent disk exhaustion in Go services.
The project optimizes log storage by compressing rotated files using the gzip algorithm and generating unique filenames via timestamped backups. It implements a retention policy that prunes historical records based on a maximum number of backups or a specified file age.
The library implements the standard Go writer interface to integrate with logging libraries, providing a mechanism for automated log rotation and disk space optimization.
