Parameter -log-rotate-duration value unit?

[frannelk]

Hi,

I'm trying to set a log rotation time for my consul server, but every time I ran the command below I get this error: "* log_rotate_duration: invalid duration: "24": time: unknown unit day in duration 24", I though it supposed to be 24 hours, but after several tries I have no clue which value it takes.

.\consul.exe agent -data-dir=D:\some_path\consul -config-dir=D:\some_path\consul -log-file=D:\some_path\consul\logs|log_consul.log -log-rotate-bytes=1048576 -log-rotate-duration=XXX -server=true -bootstrap=true -datacenter="BLABLA" -ui=true -client='XXXXX -bind='XXXXX'

What is the actual value unit for that parameters?, I want to use 5 or 50 minutes, because I have almost 200's health checks and the log write a lot of info. BTW there is a bug and consul does not respect the trace level, even if you put INFO, you get DEBUG, check this out: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/5510

I believe the documentation needs some clarity, thank you.

Best wishes.

In Consul, most duration are expressed with duration as specified here: https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration - Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".

So, basically, if you want hours, set it with "24h"

Pierre,

Kind of you for this information 😀😀, Hopefully somebody will copy&paste it on consul documentation.

frannelk,

I am also using 1.2.3 version and i do see that log_level is not honoring, but i also see that log rotation is not working as well, it is rotation to a new file but also updating consul.log file and in the rotated log files the log level is DEBUG. Do you see the same behavior?

Thanks,

Ram
