Thanks Louis, that's great to know.
I'll do that now.
Good to know that about logrotate too. Thanks for confirming.
Cheers,

I would like to roll this log by hand though if at all possible as I'm not sure
how long the compression will take as part of logrotate.
Well, remember that logrotate compresses the file after rename/copy.
I don't have 17GB spare on the server unfortunately.
That settles it then.
lsof /usr/local/pf/logs/httpd.portal.catalyst shows me that httpd is using the
file (as expected). So, am I able to rename the current
/usr/local/pf/logs/httpd.portal.catalyst file, create a new one, and restart
the httpd service in order to get apache to use the new file? I would like to
do this with as little downtime to the end users as possible of course.
You should not need to create the file.
It will be recreated by httpd when you restart it.
So just rename the file and then restart the portal process (pfcmd service
httpd.portal restart).
That should make it less that a minute of downtime on the portal.
Then compress the renamed file at your leisure.
