similar to: Debugging log rotation problem

Hello list. This is not a life-threatening question, but still quite important for debugging. I have the following crontab : 15 0,8,12,17 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger rotate' Because I have debug level 9, logfiles get quite large. I notice that the rotation of the logfiles goes to plan, except at 17h15. I currently have : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59024 Dec 2 09:36

Hello, I'm trying to enable CONSOLE logging in Asterisk 1.4.14 on a 2.6.18 Debian Lenny server. It is enabled in logger.conf, however no log file is created in /var/log/asterisk/ Also I was wondering if I manage to get it working and use logrotate daemon as well, is logrotate going to restart the asterisk process each time in order to rotate the log file? Thank you.

Hi All, Twice now in the past few weeks I've walked into the office to find that our 1.2.24 Asterisk process is sat at 100%, and that hundreds of thousands of log files in /var/log/asterisk exist, all at 312 bytes, containing: Aug 29 23:22:17 VERBOSE[24303] logger.c: Asterisk Event Logger restarted Aug 29 23:22:17 VERBOSE[24303] logger.c: Asterisk Queue Logger restarted Aug 29 23:22:17

Running fc3 with current cvs-head... Is there a nice way to rotate the /var/log/asterisk/messages file without shutting down asterisk? I'm currently rotating the log files via cron, however my script requires asterisk to be shut down, which also kills any outstanding cli sessions (eg, asterisk -rvvvvv). Would like to rotate the files without killing the cli session. Any reasonable way to

I have a persistent problem with a PBX I commissioned recently. After a few days it goes into a spasm, creating thousand of log files and giving the message below on the CLI. Dell PE 1600 with Sangoma A200. pbtpbx*CLI> show version Asterisk 1.2.14 built by root @ pbtpbx.local on a i686 running Linux on 2007-01-13 18:31:56 UTC Asterisk Queue Logger restarted Rotated Logs Per SIGXFSZ

So, the question is, why can I rotate the log manually, but cron returns a permission error? Do I need to tell cron to run it as sudo or something like that?

Hi mongrel-herders, I''m just wondering what fellow railsers use to rotate their logs in an orderly fashion? I''d like to do something lightweight, i.e. (1) rename the logfile (2, optional) create a new empty logfile and (3) send a signal to each mongrel in the cluster and have them understand it''s time to reopen their log file handles. This is what I do with apache and

That doesn?t seem to work either. Where do I find logs for log rotation to see the reason it failed?

Can you try this and adjust the path's in it. #/etc/logrotate.d/samba /var/log/samba/log.smbd { weekly missingok rotate 7 postrotate [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config endscript compress delaycompress notifempty } /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {

? Hi people. ? I had read dovecot logging info, they say something about using log rotation to help us rotate our log, with this setup: # dovecot SIGUSR1: Re-opens the log files. /var/log/dovecot*.log { missingok notifempty delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } Well, my

Hello(s), I know this might be test book question or one best suited for google but I will take the risk of asking. Here I go. What common routine maintenance tasks do you run on your asterisk box?

I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions: 1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable? Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn?t be located in

I am running a Samba server version 3.0.23d on AIX and I am trying to figure out how to rotate the Samba logs daily. I know the logfile can be rotated based on size but how can I make it rotate daily without the size parameter? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Maurice Forte

I know about this param, I configured it and log.smbd, log.nmbd and others are rotated, log.samba is not. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > To: "Lorenzo Milesi" <maxxer at yetopen.it>, "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2020 7:29:04 PM > Subject: Re: [Samba] log.samba

IN the /var/log/ folder there are two files WTMP and BTMP BTMP is getting huge after a year, about 800MB, WTMP is getting close to 1MB. In the /etc/logrotate.conf I see this -------------------- # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly minsize 1M create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 } ------------------- I can see where WTMP will probably rotate

Hi, Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in 'messages' file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below; /var/log/asterisk/messages { missingok rotate 5 daily postrotate /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger

This may have already been addressed, and I apologize if it has, but here is my issue. I have separated the TINCD log from syslog to isolate the VPN activity. By starting with daemon with the --logfile= switch It seems to work fine except that once log rotation takes place, the daemon does not recreate the log, nor will it write to the new log even if an empty file is put into place. The only

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices. >From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to handle mongrel log rotation. Fine, I''m sold on that. The advice I''m seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this. So my question is, what are people using? What''s working well? Simple bash scripts or

I'd like to be able to save the choices made in menuselect in a way that they can be tracked in a CM system and applied to a later release of Asterisk using an automated tool like Ansible. What's the best way to do that?
