Re: [squid-users] Log rotation kills helpers
I had this problem, with kerberos authentication helpers.
I configured logrotate to rotate squid logs,
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/squid
/var/log/squid/*.log {
daily
rotate 7
compress
notifempty
sharedscripts
missingok
postrotate
/path/to/squid -k rotate
endscript
}
and at squid.conf
logfile_rotate 0
Then, no more troubles.

Yes, but nobody has implemented that functionality yet. Implementing it
is not easy because of the complication that Amos has mentioned below:

Ideally, Squid should proxy helper logging messages (instead of tying
them to a specific cache.log descriptor) so that log rotation does not
kill helpers.

Re: [squid-users] Log rotation kills helpers
If you use something like log helper and send the logs to another
component like syslog or any other logs server you won't have any of
these troubles in most cases.

[squid-users] log rotation
Hello, I have looked at wiki but cannot find information about log rotation (access store logs). How can I do this? Or is it simply a matter of defining log rotation in newsyslog.conf (I am on a FreeBSD system)? Thank you! -- Zbigniew Szalbot

Or is it simply a matter of defining log rotation in newsyslog.conf (I am on a FreeBSD system)? squid -k rotate will tell squid to rotate its own logs! Look in the well documented squid.conf.example file for this tag logfile_rotate and all will come clear. You do not normally need the store log so set it to none in squid.conf. Access and Cache logs are normally all you need! Cheers Ang -- Angela Williams Enterprise Outsourcing Unix/Linux Cisco spoken here! Bedfordview [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gauteng South Africa Smile!!

Hi Zbigniew,
Go to:
(1.) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate
(2.) make install clean
(3.) cd /usr/local/etc
(4.) vi /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
Put the following in logrotate.conf
# Start of logrotate.conf ###
# rotate log files weekly
#weekly
daily
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 7
# send errors to root
#errors root
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/lastlog {
monthly
rotate 12
}
End of logrotate.conf ##
(5.) mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/
(6.) cd /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/
(7.) vi /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/squid
Put the following:
###Start of squid#
/var/log/squid/access.log {
daily
rotate 90
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
/var/log/squid/cache.log {
daily
rotate 7
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
(8.) /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
(9.) /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -f /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
If some errors are reported, it's normal, just create or touch the
relevant files or directories.
(10.) vi /etc/crontab
Put the following:
0 1 * * * root/usr/local/sbin/logrotate
/usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf /dev/null 21
(11.) If all works well, you are good to go!!!
Of course, the other simple way of doing this is to run:
squid -k rotate
from /etc/crontab
0 1 * * * root squid -k rotate
Thanking you...
Thank you!

Thank you very much indeed! But I managed in a (I think) simpler way by
adding /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log squid:squid 644 7 * @T00 J
/usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid 30
to newsyslog.conf.
But I appreciate such a thorough description!
