Dans /etc/openvpn/common.conf, la configuration indique que le niveau de verbosité de nos logs est actuellement de 4 :
; Logs verb 4
Doc de la page de man openvpn sur l'option verb :
--verb n
Set output verbosity to n (default=1). Each level shows all info from the previous levels. Level 3 is recommended if you want a
good summary of what's happening without being swamped by output.
0 -- No output except fatal errors.
1 to 4 -- Normal usage range.
5 -- Output R and W characters to the console for each packet read and write, uppercase is used for TCP/UDP packets and lowercase is
used for TUN/TAP packets.
6 to 11 -- Debug info range (see errlevel.h for additional information on debug levels).
Proposition : mettre le niveau de verbosité à 3 suite aux informations de la page de man.
Ensuite pour ne conserver que deux semaines de logs, cela se gère avec logrotate. Le fichier de conf est /etc/logrotate.conf.
Cf : voir la documentation syslog-ng sur la configuration de la rotation des logs : https://www.balabit.com/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/example-logrotate.html
