Server.out limitation

Question

Is there a way to limit the number of server.out files or only retain a certain amount of them per server like you do for the other logs?

Hi
We can Add the following Java options to the JAVA_OPTIONS variable:
-Dweblogic.Stdout="stdout-filename" , so that we can have the stdout messages only in one file
or else better redirect the stdout logs to a server log and then limit them from admin console like Server logs.
Inorder to redirect the JVM standard out messages:
* When you start the Administration Server, include the following Java option in the weblogic.Server command:
-Dweblogic.log.RedirectStdoutToServerLogEnabled=true
or
The JVM in which a WebLogic Server instance runs, sends messages to standard error and standard out. Server as well as application code write directly to these streams instead of using the logging mechanism. You can redirect the JVM output to all the registered log destinations, like the server terminal console and log file.
To redirect the JVM standard out messages:
1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Console, expand Environment and select Servers
3. In the Servers table, click the name of the server instance whose logging you want to configure.
4. Select Logging > General, and click Advanced at the bottom of the page.
5. Select the Redirect Stdout Logging Enabled check box.
For more information, see Redirecting JVM Output.
6. Click Save.
7. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
Result
The JVM output will be written to the registered log destinations.
After you finish
Restart the server.

It completely depends on which version of Weblogic server you are using. So, please check accordingly.
Hope this helps.
