logrotate fpr openhab.log

[Christoph Wempe]

I was wondering if there is a reason the openhab.log does not get rotated.

The event.log gets rotated every week and even compressed to zip.

And the *.request.log creates a new file every day and files older than 21 days get removes, I think.

My openhab.log gets very big over the time.

I think it would make sense to rotate and compress this as well.

And I wonder if it would be better to use the same rotate rule for all log files.

For the sake of consistency. ;)

Hi Christoph,

This should be in place since https://github.com/openhab/openhab/pull/1387 already :-)

Best regards,

Kai

So this is fixed in 1.5.1?!

Great.

Best, Thomas E.-E.

Hi Christoph,

if you're running on Linux, you can use logrotate daemon. Under Debian I use this configuration file:

/opt/openhab/logs/openhab.log {

daily

rotate=10

missingok

compress

postrotate

                /etc/init.d/openhab restart > /dev/null

    endscript

}

It means that rotate log daily and keep last 10 days. After rotation restart OpenHab to force it to write a new openhab.log.

I also rotate events.log

Regards

Marco
