Hi,
I have a doubt about rotation of logs write by rsyslog.
In our environment we have network devices that send log messages to
rsyslog, with a result of a continuos stream of data. We have both
dynafiles and static files.
For log rotation I thought to use a “classic” logrotation conf:
/var/log/my.log {
sharedscripts
postrotate
killall -HUP rsyslogd
endscript
}
or a shell script with same effects that first move log file and then send
kill –HUP to rsyslog.
I already know that HUP signal just reopeing files.
My doubt is: in a new messages continually arriving situation as mine, HUP
signal give me assurance of no data loss.
Thanks, best regards
Robert
