Good morning, I just want to know and collect ideas on this one. Regarding rotation of logs as I've observed it's not consistently functioning. I have a server with 8 Partitions, each partition has a dedicated directory for the logs that is needed and I set it every 5mins (300secs) the process will close and create a file. So meaning, I have 8 processes for those 8 Partitions. Let's say this is my config for this case:
Now what I want and so I did is to create a single directory named partition-all and that these 8 processed for all the 8 partitions will just close and create all files/logs in this directory. The problem I'm experiencing now is that, not all partitions are creating the file. And let's say this how it looks like with my new config:
Thanks!
Hello all.
Due to some reason I can not use HUP to rotate needed log files.
So I use the standard method:
cp $file $file.1
cat /dev/null > $file
But if Java application in this time writing the output to $file,
in the beginning of it appears many "^@^@^@^@^@^@".

I have the below script to help with disk space cleanup that finds logs older than a specified number of days (say 10 days). I need it to grab "active" logs as well. Problem is an "active log" will not get archived unless I put in 0 days which I don't want to do, I need to leave the past 10 days,... (2 Replies)

Hi,
Recently i received a request to rotate logs of catalina.out (tomcat). The file size was about 807 MB. I used logadm to truncate the log ( -c ) and zip (-z 0) it.
Everything worked fine, catalina.out.0.gz was created (22 MB) and the size of original catalina.out became 0kb.
After... (2 Replies)

In Mavericks, Apple has apparently moved control of log rotation to ASL. There's a 'ttl' value to determine how long log files will stick around for. I can compress them, change the way they're named, limit them by size, etc. But the one thing I cannot find is how to NOT keep one log file per... (0 Replies)

log::agent::file::rotate
File::Rotate(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Rotate(3pm)NAME
Log::Agent::File::Rotate - a rotating logfile set
SYNOPSIS
#
# This class is not user-visible.
#
# It is documented only for programmers wishing to inherit
# from it to further extend its behaviour.
#
require Log::Agent::Driver::File;
require Log::Agent::Rotate;
require Log::Agent::File::Rotate;
my $config = Log::Agent::Rotate->make(...);
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::File->make(...);
my $fh = Log::Agent::File::Rotate->make("file", $config, $driver);
DESCRIPTION
This class represents a rotating logfile and is used drivers wishing to rotate their logfiles periodically. From the outside, it exports a
single "print" routine, just like "Log::Agent::File::Native".
Internally, it uses the parameters given by a "Log::Agent::Rotate" object to transparently close the current logfile and cycle the older
logs.
Before rotating the current logfile, the string:
*** LOGFILE ROTATED ON <local date>
is emitted, so that people monitoring the file via "tail -f" know about it and are not surprised by the sudden stop of messages.
Its exported interface is:
make file, config
This is the creation routine. The config object is an instance of "Log::Agent::Rotate".
print args
Prints args to the file. After having printed the data, monitor the file against the thresholds defined in the configuration, and
possibly rotate the logfiles according to the parameters held in the same configuration object.
When the "is_alone" flag is not set in the configuration, the logfile is checked everytime a "print" is issued to see if its inode
changed. Indeed, when several instances of the same program using rotating logfiles are running, each of them may decide to cycle the
logs at some point in time, and therefore our opened handle could point to an already renamed or unlinked file.
