Log File Volume Assessment
Answer
Scenario
The /var directory contains logs from multiple applications, and cleanup planning is needed. Some applications create their own subdirectories with nested log files.
Task
Find and count all files ending with the .log extension anywhere under /var including subdirectories, save the total count to /home/devops/log_count.txt, and use standard Linux commands to output only the total number of .log files found. Additionally, identify .log files larger than 512 KB and save the count to /home/devops/large_log_count.txt
