[syslog-ng] log rotation

[Mark R. White]

Brian,

What I do is have the logs date time stamped so it starts a new log each
day.  Then I run a script from CRON to have those files gzipped that are
more than two days old and delete anything more than thirty days old.

HTH,

Mark


Here is what I have:

--from syslog-ng.conf--

destination hosts {
   file("/var/log/network/$HOST/$HOST$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
   owner(root) group(root) perm(0775) dir_perm(0775) create_dirs(yes));
};

log {
        source(s_all);
        destination(hosts);
};

--the "archive script" (it's not really archiving but it does what I need it
to do)--

#!/bin/bash

cd /var/log/network/corppix

# Compress all of the Corp Pix logs older than two days

/usr/bin/find . -name corppix\* -mtime +2 -exec gzip {} \;

#Delete all logs older than 30 days.

/usr/bin/find . -name corppix\* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;

#Same thing for CorpPixFailover

cd /var/log/network/corppixfailover

# Compress all of the Corp Pix logs older than two days

/usr/bin/find . -name corppixfailover\* -mtime +2 -exec gzip {} \;

#Delete all logs older than 30 days.

/usr/bin/find . -name corppixfailover\* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
