Here is a link to a thread where we came up with a perl solution for automagic log rotating based upon number of entries. This by-passes syslogd so it might or might not be useful to you.

http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/...3949#post13949

The perl code is as follows:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Real cheezy attempt at piping STDOUT into a perl routine to automagically
# rotate logs. Idea inspired by cRock.
# Auswipe sez "Hey, no guarantees!"

my $lineCounter = 0;
my $logCount    = 1;

#open(LOGFILE, ">app.log.$logCount");

while (true) {
  if (($lineCounter > 1000) || ($lineCounter == 0)) {
    close(LOGFILE);
    open(LOGFILE, ">app.log.$logCount");
    $logCount++;
    $lineCounter = 1;
    # print STDERR "Rolled log to app.log.$logCount\n";
  };
  $logEntry = <STDIN>;
  $lineCounter++;
  print LOGFILE "$logEntry";
  #print STDERR "Made log entry.\n";
};

Sample usage:

Code:
./someapp | ./perl_buffer

Plack::Middleware::AccessLog(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 Plack::Middleware::AccessLog(3pm)

NAME
Plack::Middleware::AccessLog - Logs requests like Apache's log format SYNOPSIS
# in app.psgi use Plack::Builder; builder { enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", format => "combined"; $app; }; DESCRIPTION
Plack::Middleware::AccessLog forwards the request to the given app and logs request and response details to the logger callback. The format can be specified using Apache-like format strings (or "combined" or "common" for the default formats). If none is specified "combined" is used. This middleware uses calculable content-length by checking body type, and can not log the time taken to serve requests. It also logs the request before the response is actually sent to the client. Use Plack::Middleware::AccessLog::Timed if you want to log details after the response is transmitted (more like a real web server) to the client. This middleware is enabled by default when you run plackup as a default "development" environment. CONFIGURATION
format enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", format => '%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-agent}i"'; Takes a format string (or a preset template "combined" or "custom") to specify the log format. This middleware implements a subset of Apache's LogFormat templates <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html>: %% a percent sign %h REMOTE_ADDR from the PSGI environment, or - %l remote logname not implemented (currently always -) %u REMOTE_USER from the PSGI environment, or - %t [local timestamp, in default format] %r REQUEST_METHOD, REQUEST_URI and SERVER_PROTOCOL from the PSGI environment %s the HTTP status code of the response %b content length %T custom field for handling times in subclasses %D custom field for handling sub-second times in subclasses %v SERVER_NAME from the PSGI environment, or - %V HTTP_HOST or SERVER_NAME from the PSGI environment, or - Some of these format fields are only supported by middleware that subclasses "AccessLog". In addition, custom values can be referenced, using "%{name}", with one of the mandatory modifier flags "i", "o" or "t": %{variable-name}i HTTP_VARIABLE_NAME value from the PSGI environment %{header-name}o header-name header %{time-format]t localtime in the specified strftime format logger my $logger = Log::Dispatch->new(...); enable "Plack::Middleware::AccessLog", logger => sub { $logger->log(level => 'debug', message => @_) }; Sets a callback to print log message to. It prints to "psgi.errors" output stream by default. SEE ALSO
