Hi Valdis, Thanks for the help. Could you please explain below questons? 1. Will the below format overwrites existing log file? file("/logs/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/messages-$YEAR-$MONTH$DAY"); 2. Is there a way to roate log file based on the size? Idea is I don't want my log partition gets filled & alerts due to lacks of space :) Please help. -Rajeesh -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 12:22 AM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng log file overwrite On Fri, 09 Mar 2007 16:46:18 +0530, "Padmanabhan, Rajeesh (GE Healthcare)" said:
Basically what i am trying to configure is log rotation of Syslog-ng files.
You can always cheat, like this: file("/logs/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/messages-$YEAR-$MONTH$DAY"); Voila! instant auto-magic rotation at midnight. :)
