# Log Cleaner
This script cleans and compresses old log files to free up disk space. It identifies log files older than a specified number of days, compresses them with `gzip`, moves them to an archive directory, and generates a summary report.
## Features
- **Automated Cleaning:** Automatically identifies and compresses old log files.
- **Configurable:** Customize log directory, archive directory, and age threshold.
- **Compression:** Uses `gzip` for efficient disk space savings.
- **Archiving:** Moves compressed logs to a dedicated archive directory.
- **Detailed Reporting:** Provides a summary of processed files, sizes, and space saved.
- **Robust Error Handling:** Extensive error checking and logging for reliability.
- **Safe File Operations:** Ensures successful compression and move before deleting originals.
## Usage
1. **Clone:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/elliotsecops/Log-Cleaner.git
cd Log-Cleaner
```
2. **Make Executable:**
```bash
chmod +x log_cleaner.sh
```
3. **Run:**
```bash
sudo ./log_cleaner.sh [LOG_DIR] [ARCHIVE_DIR] [DAYS_OLD]
```
- **`LOG_DIR`**: Directory containing log files (default: `/var/log`).
- **`ARCHIVE_DIR`**: Directory to store compressed logs (default: `/var/log/archive`).
- **`DAYS_OLD`**: Age threshold for compression (default: 7 days).
**Example (Custom Configuration):**
```bash
sudo ./log_cleaner.sh /var/log/myapp /var/log/myapp/archive 30
```
