Hi,
Unfortunately I identified that the logfile of impstats module does not get
closed/reopened after a "kill -HUP <rsyslog pid>".
For my point of view this is not the expected behaviour, because the man page
of rsyslogd says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIGNALS
Rsyslogd reacts to a set of signals. You may easily send a signal to
rsyslogd using the following:
Note that -SIGNAL must be replaced with the actual signal you are trying
to send, e.g. with HUP. So it then becomes:
kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid)
HUP This lets rsyslogd perform close all open files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My configuration looks like this:
Module (load="impstats" interval="30" severity="7" log.syslog="off"
log.file="/var/log/rsyslog.stats")
How to reproduce:
1. start rsyslogd
2. rename the log-file (or use logrotate) to /var/log/rsyslog.stats-old
3. send kill -HUP to PID
4. fuser /var/log/rsyslog.stats-old shows, file handle is used by rsyslogd
process, meanwhile file-handle of /var/log/rsyslogd.stats is not opened.
Does it make sense to open an issue on github for this?
Best regards
Chris
