# Configuration file for Log2Ram (https://github.com/azlux/log2ram) under MIT license. | ||
# This configuration file is read by the log2ram service | ||
|
||
# Size for the ram folder, it defines the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM. | ||
# If it's not enough, log2ram will not be able to use ram. Check you /var/log size folder. | ||
# The default is 40M and is basically enough for a lot of applications. | ||
# You will need to increase it if you have a server and a lot of log for example. | ||
# Specify the amount of RAM reserved for storing logs. This setting determines the maximum size of the RAM folder. | ||
# Ensure 'SIZE=' is set larger than the current size of your /var/log directory to prevent startup failures. | ||
# Also, configure logrotate to manage log growth and prevent the /var/log directory from exceeding this reserved size. | ||
# The default setting of 128M suffices for many typical applications, but you may need to increase it for | ||
# servers or systems that generate extensive logging. | ||
SIZE=128M | ||
|
||
# Select the log syncing method between the log directory on disk and in the RAM. | ||
# The variable may be uncommented out, setting it to false, if "cp" is preferred over "rsync". | ||
# Currently, this option needs to be unset or set to true for "rsync" to run, | ||
# with "cp" available for fallback when "rsync" is missing. | ||
# In all other cases, setting USE_RSYNC to anything other than true will default to "cp". | ||
# Select the log syncing method between disk and RAM: | ||
# - 'rsync' is the default unless 'USE_RSYNC' is set to 'false'. | ||
# - If 'rsync' is unavailable, 'cp' is automatically used as a fallback. | ||
# - Set 'USE_RSYNC' to 'false' to explicitly use 'cp'. | ||
#USE_RSYNC=false | ||
|
||
# If there are some errors with available RAM space, a system mail will be send by default (see next parameter) | ||
# Change it to false and you will have only a log if there is no place on RAM anymore. | ||
# By default, if there is insufficient RAM space, a system notification email is sent. | ||
# Set this to 'false' to disable email notifications. (The error will still be logged locally). | ||
#NOTIFICATION=true | ||
|
||
# This is a one-line command for the error notification. | ||
# By default, it's a email with the command `mail`, the body is passed in stdin. | ||
# So you can set any command(like shoutrrr) or custom script for the error notification. | ||
# Specify the command for sending error notifications. | ||
# By default, it uses the `mail` command to send an email, with the message body provided via stdin. | ||
# You can replace this with any command (such as 'shoutrrr') or a custom script for handling notifications. | ||
#NOTIFICATION_COMMAND=mail -s "Log2Ram Error on $HOSTNAME" | ||
|
||
# Variable for folders to put in RAM. You need to specify the real folder `/path/folder` , the `/path/hdd.folder` will | ||
# be automatically created. Multiple path can be separeted by `;`. Do not add the final `/` ! | ||
# example : PATH_DISK="/var/log;/home/test/FolderInRam" | ||
# Specify the directories to be stored in RAM. List each directory using its absolute path, e.g., `/path/folder`. | ||
# Corresponding directories on the HDD, named `/path/hdd.folder`, will be automatically created for each listed path. | ||
# Separate multiple paths with a semicolon `;` and do not include a trailing slash at the end of the paths. | ||
# Example: PATH_DISK="/var/log;/home/test/FolderInRam" | ||
PATH_DISK="/var/log" | ||
|
||
# Should log2ram consider journald and do a log rotate before copying the log files back? Please note that for this | ||
# rsync is mandatory. Also make sure that you have configured SystemMaxUse in journald.conf, because the size of this | ||
# ram folder is will probably not be as large as journald will use by default | ||
JOURNALD_AWARE=true | ||
|
||
# **************** Zram backing conf ************************************************* | ||
# Set to 'true' to enable log rotation for journald logs before syncing. | ||
# Note: 'rsync' must be used for this feature. | ||
# Ensure 'SystemMaxUse' is configured in 'journald.conf' | ||
# - (To limit journald’s disk usage to be smaller than the log2ram RAM allocation). | ||
JOURNALD_AWARE=true | ||
|
||
|
||
# **************** Zram backing conf **************** | ||
|
||
# ZL2R Zram Log 2 Ram enables a zram drive when ZL2R=true ZL2R=false is mem only tmpfs | ||
# Set ZL2R=true to enable zram, providing compressed RAM storage for log2ram. | ||
# Set ZL2R=false to use tmpfs, which provides uncompressed memory-only storage. | ||
ZL2R=false | ||
# COMP_ALG this is any compression algorithm listed in /proc/crypto | ||
# lz4 is fastest with lightest load but deflate (zlib) and Zstandard (zstd) give far better compression ratios | ||
# lzo is very close to lz4 and may with some binaries have better optimisation | ||
# COMP_ALG=lz4 for speed or Zstd for compression, lzo or zlib if optimisation or availabilty is a problem | ||
|
||
# Choose a compression algorithm from those listed in /proc/crypto. | ||
# 'lz4' is the fastest, offering the lightest CPU load but lower compression ratios. | ||
# 'deflate' (zlib) and 'Zstandard' (zstd) provide higher compression ratios but use more CPU. | ||
# 'lzo' is similar to 'lz4' but may perform better with certain binaries due to optimizations. | ||
# Set COMP_ALG to 'lz4' for speed, 'zstd' for better compression, or 'lzo' or 'zlib' if optimizations or availability are concerns. | ||
COMP_ALG=lz4 | ||
# LOG_DISK_SIZE is the uncompressed disk size. Note zram uses about 0.1% of the size of the disk when not in use | ||
# LOG_DISK_SIZE is expected compression ratio of alg chosen multiplied by log SIZE | ||
# lzo/lz4=2.1:1 compression ratio zlib=2.7:1 zstandard=2.9:1 | ||
# Really a guestimate of a bit bigger than compression ratio whilst minimising 0.1% mem usage of disk size | ||
|
||
# LOG_DISK_SIZE specifies the uncompressed zram disk size. | ||
# (Sets the size of the zram disk that will be presented to the operating system). | ||
# To estimate amount of RAM this will consume, divide LOG_DISK_SIZE by your chosen compression algorithm's ratio: | ||
# - lzo/lz4 typically compresses at a ratio of 2.1:1 | ||
# - zlib compresses at about 2.7:1 | ||
# - zstandard (zstd) achieves around 2.9:1 | ||
# Example calculation using lz4: | ||
# Given LOG_DISK_SIZE = 256M (which represents 256 Megabytes of uncompressed log data), | ||
# the estimated zram RAM usage = 256 MB / 2.1 ≈ 122 MB of RAM. | ||
LOG_DISK_SIZE=256M |

Why does the JOURNALD_AWARE variable appear twice in the new config file?
Why do the corresponding comments appear twice but with different/complementary description?
The description is of the SystemMaxUse is also not very clear; an example should be provided relative to the default SIZE value. Eg. if SIZE=128M, SystemMaxUse should be set to xx

Hi, It's a commit error. I will remove that.
