Now that this is out of the way, the developers that use these JBoss logs have asked if they can be rotated every 6 hours or 300M - which ever comes first, obviously I just fudged my way through the size portion of this request. Is it as simple as adding a Schedule block to that Output block for rotating every 6 hours?

If you do the same in a text editor, i.e. convert this into a single line, and then go to the location stated in the error message (character position 141), you should find the cause of the syntax error there or nearby. There is clearly a syntax error in the snippet you posted, but I won't tell you what it is so that you can find it yourself. ;) Regards, Botond On Mon, 6 Jan 2014 11:04:05 -0700 "Paul Fontenot" <ssdv6...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am attempting to rotate some logs based on size and am using the > following from the example in the nxlog documentation > > 91 Exec if jbossOut->file_size() > 5M { \ > 92 $newfile = "%JBOSSDIR%/" + $Hostname + > "/" + $Hostname + "-" + $dst + "-" strftime(now(), "%Y%m%d%H%M%S" + > ".log"); \ > 93 jbossOut->rotate_to($newfile); \ > 94 exec_async("/usr/bin/bzip2", $newfile); \ > 95 } > > And it's throwing this error and I can't figure out what is causing > this unless its another instance where I'm getting bit by globbing. > > 2014-01-06 11:01:39 ERROR Couldn't parse Exec block at > /etc/nxlog.d/01-jboss-logs.conf:95;couldn't parse statement at line > 95, character 141 in /etc/nxlog.d/01-jboss-logs.conf;syntax error, > unexpected TOKEN_FUNCPROC, expecting ; > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -------- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your > business.
