Question

Hi is there a recommendation for what kind of machine specs we should use to run prefect core I have a couple instances running on t3 mediums in separate unconnected environments and they seem to be failing randomly after several days

Kevin Kho · Answer

But for core alone I think it depends on the workload of your flow Are you not using an agent Core is not really intended for production use cases

joshua mclellan · Answer

we have the agents running on a different machine on the network

Kevin Kho · Answer

So when you mean `prefect core` you mean an agent running with cloud

joshua mclellan · Answer

sorry i mean we have machine A that is running prefect core by running `prefect server start` after setting backend to server and then on a separate machine B which is running an agent that points to the server on machine A The problem being that we are finding that after some time Machine A fails and its not clear why Failing to the point that it has to be restarted in the AWS console

Ok thanks hopefully with some more investigation we can come back with more driven questions

joshua mclellan · Answer

when i run the server all the logs print to stdout is there any configuration where i can easily direct that to a logfile or should i just do that redirection myself at the top level was hoping that you might have a logrotate solution built in already

not for Prefect 1 but definitely something in consideration for Prefect 2 0 because it has been heavily requested
