standpoint it's sometimes best to keep them smaller and deal with them in smaller chunks anyways; especially when you need to rotate logs off a machine to save local disk space.
Any hope of such a feature Bazsi? Perhaps in syslog-ng 2?
I don't really want to bloat syslog-ng too much with log rotation, unless the feature is general enough. The possibility to call an external program regularly for each file destination would be fine, however how often should this program be called? Or create three options like: rotate_program rotate_if_older rotate_if_larger And pass the file to be rotated to rotate_program? rotate_if_older would be problematic as syslog-ng has no information when it started to write to a given file. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
