66
-
The NGINX Agent uses log files in standardized formats to collect metrics. As the number of log formats or instances grows, the size of these log files will increase correspondingly.
16
+
To see the detailed technical specifications for NGINX Plus, refer to the official
17
+
[NGINX Plus documentation]({{< ref "/nginx/technical-specs.md" >}}).

To avoid system storage constraints caused by expanding log directories, it is recommended to:
69
19
70
-
- Set up a **dedicated partition** for `/var/log/nginx-agent`.
71
-
- Enable **[log rotation](https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate)** to manage log file growth effectively.

NGINX Agent has its own user group (`nginx-agent`) which is created when NGINX Agent is installed. The user NGINX is running under is added to this user group during the installation of NGINX Agent. If you change the NGINX user after installing NGINX Agent, you will need to [manually add the new NGINX user]({{< ref "/agent/configuration/configure-nginx-agent-group.md" >}}) to the `nginx-agent` group.
