# Plugin System
#
# Third-party plugins can be installed by dropping a YAML file in PLUGIN_DIR.
# Each plugin YAML file should define handlers that point to executable scripts.
#
# Example plugin YAML structure:
#
#   name: myapp
#   description: &quot;MyApp application logs&quot;
#   handlers:
#     get_default_retention: /opt/cpanel/myapp/bin/log_retention_default
#     get_user_retention: /opt/cpanel/myapp/bin/log_retention_user
#     sys_paths: /opt/cpanel/myapp/bin/log_retention_sys_paths
#     user_paths: /opt/cpanel/myapp/bin/log_retention_user_paths
#
# Handler scripts should:
#   - get_default_retention: Print the default retention days (integer) to STDOUT
#   - get_user_retention: Accept username as $1, print retention days to STDOUT (or nothing for default)
#   - sys_paths: Print one path per line to STDOUT
#   - user_paths: Accept username as $1, print one path per line to STDOUT

=head1 NAME

scripts::log_retention - Log retention management utility for cPanel &amp; WHM

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/log_retention [options]

    Options:
        --help, -h          Show help message
        --run               Execute log retention cleanup
        --type TYPE         Process specific log type(s) only
        --verbose, -v       Enable verbose output

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script manages log file retention across different log types in cPanel &amp; WHM.
It supports:

=over 4

=item * System-wide default retention policies

=item * User-specific retention overrides

=item * Multiple log types (web, and extensible for others)

=item * Hook points for custom pre/post deletion actions

=item * Resource-aware processing

=back

=head1 LOG TYPES

=head2 web

Manages web server logs including:

=over 4

=item * Apache access and error logs

=item * NGINX access and error logs

=item * Domain-specific logs in user directories

=item * System-wide web server logs

=back

=head1 CONFIGURATION

=head2 System Configuration

Default web log retention is configured via WHM Tweak Settings
(web_log_retention_days in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config):

    web_log_retention_days=30

Set to 0 to never delete (this is the default).

=head2 User Configuration

Users can override the system default via the .cpanel-logs file
in the user&#039;s home directory (~user/.cpanel-logs):

    web-log-retention-days=60

Set to 0 to never delete user logs.
If not set or invalid, the system default is used.

=head1 HOOKS

The following hooks are available for custom integration, such as archiving
logs to external storage before deletion:

=head2 Log::Retention::pre_deletion

Called before deleting files. This is the recommended integration point for
archiving solutions - copy or upload the files before they are deleted.

Receives:

=over 4

=item * log_type - The type of logs being processed

=item * user - Username (if processing user logs, undef for system logs)

=item * base_path - Base directory being processed

=item * files_to_delete - Array reference of files to be deleted

=item * retention_days - Retention period in days

=back

=head2 Log::Retention::post_deletion

Called after deleting files. Receives:

=over 4

=item * log_type - The type of logs processed

=item * user - Username (if processing user logs, undef for system logs)

=item * base_path - Base directory processed

=item * deleted_count - Number of files actually deleted

=item * retention_days - Retention period in days

=back
