Dear Syslog-ng team,
We are currently evaluating syslog-ng in order to satisfy some requests from our customers regarding logs from our software. One of their requests is to limit log file size using some kind of rotation algo : if size > 6Mo then rotate to another file. We have found some options in file destination like fifo buffer control but nothing about files rotation. Is there anything for that kind of feature ?
I have a patch that does something of that kind. When the log file grows above certain size syslog-ng switches to a new one and renames the old one. Further processing (such as compression) should be done externally. I posted that patch in this list quite some time ago, but as far as I can tell, it went unnoticed... -- Sergei.
