Is it possible to limit the size of each logfile when using the destinatin shown under?
If your OS has a ulimit restricting the maximum size of any one file (look under 'man setrlimit' for RLIMIT_FSIZE), you could use this kernel feature to restrict the largest file that can be created. This wouldn't allow setting different limits for each destination. Alternately, you could use a unique userid for the logs from each untrustworthy log source, and use the native OS quota enforcement to limit total disk space, but this is even more OS-dependent than are ulimits. I prefer to have a separate monitor routine (e.g. HobbitMon), a daemon or cron job which watches filesystem free space and sends an alert if any one filesystem runs low. Kevin
