time/size rotation, and then the ability to call an external script to do something with the rotated file after rsyslog knows it's done writing to it (better than logrotate that only knows it sent a signal to an app, doesn't know if the app has processed the signal yet). I would even let the fine count limit be done in the script, but I could see arguments for doing it in omfile.

actually, time based actions may be better done as a core item. There are also requests for time based rebind across all the different modules, so that may belong more core rather than each module reinventing the wheel in slightly different ways.

Hello!

I asked Reiner a while ago regarding this and he told me he is not going to
remove this..
Though there is no decision on any new syntax for this.. I'd be happy with
some "omfile" options to configure a size limit and number of archives to
keep. That's more than enough for most of us I guess.. well.. maybe
compression program as well.. and encryption... and upload to s3/azure blob
store/hdfs/whatever else.. endless story I'd say :-D

I guess this is why it's in the current state.

Hi,

I am implementing a tracing mechanism and the outchannel features comes
handy to add Logrotate.
However, it is mentioned in the following link that it is a to-be removed
feature, at least as far as the config syntax is concerned.

https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/compatibility/v6compatibility.html

Could someone please comment is it planned for disabling or being
considered with a different syntax?

Thanks,
Vivek
