| Summary | 0001713: Change log file names between apache, webconfig, squid, and dansguardian...possibly others. | ||||
| Description | Enterprise-grade logging requires log files to have unique names for archive purposes. These are often stored in flat directories which would cause a conflict between the name 'access.log' in various services. While we store them in different directories, upstream 7, by default, will archive to the same central directory. Their reason for their change is to allow archived data to be NFS mounted to permanent storage. To avoid issues and unnecessary hacks that will require large maintenance, we should merely change the names of log files in version 7 and avoid the issue all together. While we could use a relative directory for 'olddir' it will be more scalable to specify an absolute path so as to be able to use more robust logging techniques. ALSO! note the change to XZ compression. If we have reports running out of archives, we will need to tune the reporting engine to be able to handle reading this data (ie. zcat and zgrep need to be changed to xzgrep and xzcat respectively). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | |||||
| Additional Information | This example is very close to what will be done in version 7: # see "man logrotate" for details # rotate log files weekly weekly # keep 52 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 52 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # use date as a suffix of the rotated file dateext # use xz for compression compresscmd /usr/bin/xz uncompresscmd /usr/bin/unxz compressext .xz compressoptions -9e # store archives in /var/log/archive olddir /var/log/archive # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed compress # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory include /etc/logrotate.d # no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly create 0664 root utmp minsize 1M rotate 1 } /var/log/btmp { missingok monthly create 0600 root utmp rotate 1 } # system-specific logs may be also be configured here. | ||||
