PingData servers provide customization options to create log publishers with the dsconfig command. After creating a new log publisher, configure the log retention and rotation policies. For more information, see Configure log retention and log rotation policies.

Use the dsconfig command to create and configure the new log publisher. (If using dsconfig in interactive mode, log publishers are created and managed under the Log Publisher menu.) The following example shows how to create a logger that only logs disconnect operations.
```
$ bin/dsconfig create-log-publisher \
  --type file-based-access --publisher-name "Disconnect Logger" \
  --set enabled:true \
  --set "rotation-policy:24 Hours Time Limit Rotation Policy" \
  --set "rotation-policy:Size Limit Rotation Policy" \
  --set "retention-policy:File Count Retention Policy" \
  --set log-connects:false \
  --set log-requests:false --set log-results:false \
  --set log-file:logs/disconnect.log
```
To configure compression on the logger, add the following option to the previous command:
```
--set compression-mechanism: gzip
```
Compression cannot be disabled or turned off once configured for the logger. Determine logging requirements before configuring this option.
View log publishers with the following command:
```
$ bin/dsconfig list-log-publishers
```
