Right, I forgot about that. :) SIGUSR2 will not even do a reconfigure, just reopend the log file.

Yes, restarting it will start a new log file if the old one is moved away. However, also reconfig will do, and you can trigger that by sending the process a HUP signal. That way you don't have to restart the daemon. We have this in our logrotate file: postrotate ## Using the newer feature of reconfig when getting a SIGHUP. kill -hup $(ps -C slurmctld h -o pid) kill -hup $(ps -C slurmdbd h -o pid) endscript (That is for both slurmctld.log and slurmdbd.log.) -- Regards, Bjørn-Helge Mevik, dr. scient, Department for Research Computing, University of Oslo signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[slurm-users] log rotation for slurmctld.
Hi,
i wanted to understand how log rotation of slurmctld works.
in my environment i don't have any logrotation for the slurmctld.log and
now the log file size reached to 125GB.
can i move the log file to some other location and then restart.reload of
slurm service will start a new log file.i think this should work without
any issues.
am i right or it will create any issue.
Also i need to create a log rotate.is the below config works as it is.i
need to do it on production environment so asking to make sure it will work
fine without any issue.
/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log {
weekly
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
create 0600 slurm slurm
rotate 8
compress
postrotate
/bin/systemctl reload slurmctld.service > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
endscript
}
Regards
Navin.
