Re: [syslog-ng] How to rotate log file in syslog-ng file based on file size

Dear Team,

I am receiving a log of around 80GB per day. I want to make a log file of fixed size (suppose 10Gb) and after that file size crossed, new file should be created.

How to do that?

At the moment, this is not possible with syslog-ng alone. You can use logrotate, the 'size' option of it in particular, to achieve what you want. Something like: /var/log/big-logs/* { size 10G postrotate /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload endscript rotate 100 missingok } It might be worth changing the destination in your config to use a flatter structure, so logrotate can do it's job. -- |8]
