Values are as follows.. # n = None - don't rotate the log # h = Hourly rotation (top of the hour) # d = Daily rotation (midnight every day) # w = Weekly rotation (midnight on Saturday evening) # m = Monthly rotation (midnight last day of month) log_rotation_method=d calvin On 4/13/05 3:55 PM, "scott_yem@agilent.com" <scott_yem@agilent.com> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE>I have a process looking at the log files and noticed that when the logs rotate, my process looking at the log file breaks. I am using a tail –f command with a perl script to interpret data coming back via a passive check. I am then plugging the information into a rrd and making graphs. I know this is probably easier with nagiosgraph or something, but this is a migration from a server running Netsaint 007. I wanted to get things running the way they were and then work to get the other files made up the way we want. I will try nagiosgraph, but in my last attempts, I was not able to get it working properly. The functionality seems to be better than what I am currently using, but the code for the current solution is more than 3 years old. I was looking in /etc/logrotate.conf and did not find any log rotation in there. If the script was in here I know I could HUP the process for my script, but I cannot find the process that rotates the logs. Any help is appreciated.
