Re: [rt-users] Help Regarding Rotating Log File RT.Log
If you're up-to modifying RT's code, you can use Log::Dispatch::FileRotate instead of Log::Dispatch::File in a new RT_Local.pm file that will override InitLogging() function of RT.pm. Log::Dispatch::FileRotate allows rotation by file size or date/time while retaining a specified amount of previous files. Does not require restarting Apache upon log rotation.

Re: [rt-users] Help Regarding Rotating Log File RT.Log
Varun and all, It's not recommended to use LogToFile in production environment. Use LogToScreen to log into Apache's logs or LogToSyslog.

You should use some programs like logrotate to rotate those logs. If you are using LogToFile in RT then you will have to restart apache at each rotation so it opens a new file after rotation. The imho is to use LogToSyslog so you can treat this log like other syslog files, and rotate it without apache restart. Syslog can also give you better performance (not very noticeable, but it's faster than logtofile if you configure syslog to be async for this log). ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
