Hello J Doe,
I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback on whether the
following: newsyslog.conf file is correct to allow for daily log
rotation for my Bind 9.16.30 logs ?
My currently logging settings in: named.conf are:
...
logging {
channel chn_file_queries {
buffered no;
file "/var/queries.log"
versions 2 size 1g suffix increment;
This configuration makes BIND rotate the file by itself, when it grows
bigger than 1 GB. You do NOT need any external tool like newsyslog to do
log file rotation.

Hi Anand,
Yes, I am aware that the logging stanza I listed for the query log will
do the rotation when the log reaches 1 GB and then it will rotate it and
store two logs in total.
What I would like to introduce is rotation based on time. So after 24
hours, newsyslog would compress and rotate the logs and keep them for 7
days before removing the oldest. That way I always have a week's worth
of query data in separate logs by day.
Was my newsyslog.conf file correct for that ?
Thanks,
- J
