Morning all,
2) regarding syslog.conf and file rotation
I know I can setup -k rotate from cron and that will rotate squid's
current cache_log, but how would I compress it?
To compress it you would need a wrapper script which runs runs the -k
rotate, then compresses the resulting access_log.0 into a new filename
(usually dated files is a good idea).
For posterity sake, here's the script that I use:
#!/bin/sh
# Tell squid to rotate logs
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k rotate
# Situate ourselves in the log directory
cd /usr/local/squid/logs/
# Move the old logs (overwriting number 5)
mv -f access.log.4.gz access.log.5.gz
mv access.log.3.gz access.log.4.gz
mv access.log.2.gz access.log.3.gz
mv access.log.1.gz access.log.2.gz
mv access.log.0.gz access.log.1.gz
# Compress the most recent squid log
/bin/gzip access.log.0
It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Just make sure your
logfile_rotate (in squid.conf) is not set to 0.
I have looked back through the gmane archives of squid-users and I do
not see anyone that answered this question directly.. and even a
google search didn't turn up much of anything useful. Or am I just
missing something basic with a syslog.conf parameter?
thanks in advance and I am sorry if another form of these questions
were asked/answered; I couldn't find anything like them.
again thanks in advance
