Journal file not rotating

I’ve been using Pritunl in our enterprise for a few months now, and noticed that disk space is disappearing fairly fast.

The culprit seems to be /var/log/pritunl_journal.log which grows with about 1 MB every 10 minutes during peak usage due to collecting every connection ping etc for all connected users, while also not rotating at all (it had reached 2.3GB).

I tried running sudo pritunl set app.journal_rotate_size 1000000 and got a success message, but it still kept growing. I even deleted the old file but it quickly grew to several MB again without any rotation.

Setup:
Pritunl v1.32.4400.99
Amazon Linux 2023

I did find the cause of this, it will be fixed in the next release.
