Wow, this is a very important detail. Can you add this to the documentation[1]? The scoping doc[2] is also very interesting in this regard. A document with an overview of parameters with a specific scope would be very helpful for version 5.x. So if I understand this correctly, I was mistaken that rsyslogd should have closed all rotated files. Instead, it keeps them open until the DynaFileCache is full... which was wrongly configured by me as you pointed out (set way too high before all actions in the global scope). Is it correct with versions 5.x (no scoping) to do the following, as an example: > $template SplitServiceRsyncLog,"/srv/log/system/%hostname%/%$now%/rsyncd.log" > > $DynaFileCacheSize 1 > > if $hostname == 'node6' and $syslogfacility == 16 then -?SplitServiceRsyncLog > & ~ > if $hostname == 'node7' and $syslogfacility == 16 then -?SplitServiceRsyncLog > & ~ > if $hostname == 'build' and $syslogfacility == 16 then -?SplitServiceRsyncLog > & ~ ... because I expect only one logfile per host per day which should be held open? And in contrast, for the following selector with two actions: > $template SystemAuthLog,"/srv/log/system/CLUSTER/%$now%/auth.log" > $template SplitSystemAuthLog,"/srv/log/system/%hostname%/%$now%/auth.log" > > $DynaFileCacheSize 30 > > auth,authpriv.* ?SystemAuthLog > & ?SplitSystemAuthLog I would set it to 30 because I expect 30 open logfiles per action (one per host per day)? A documented example would be very helpful for this.
