Re: [syslog-ng] Log rotate without log rotate.

Hi, Bruno Vieira <giuliapo@gmail.com> [20070316 14:59:00 +0000]:

Hi there.

I have a question and at the same time i almost know that it must exist a way of doing this.

[snipped]

This way I would have a log rotation without using log rotate that normally it copies the file content to a new one and than syslog-ng starts writing on an empty one.

I might have missed something but whats wrong with something like: ==== destination d_cheese { file("/var/log/cheese/$R_YEAR$R_MONTH$R_DAY.log" perm(0644)); }; ==== Have a look at the follow macro expansions for more fun: http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference-2.0/syslog-ng.html/index...

Tell me what you think about this.

shear craziness :) Cheers Alex
