Re: [otrs] Any other way to control the size of LogModule::LogFile except via LogModule::LogFile::Date?

26 Mar 2013


      Sys::Syslog is a core module of perl. Changing the method to Syslog
$Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::SysLog';
$Self->{'LogModule::SysLog::LogSock'} = 'eventlog';
Theoretically, you should be able to see if this works quite quickly.

I'm running on Windows so I can't use neither SysLog or logrotate (I
think).
Do you know if OTRS holds a file lock on "otrs.log"?
Worst case I could write something that periodically checks this file's
size and when a threshold is reached it just moves it to some storage /
archive. I was hoping OTRS's code uses a logging framework - like log4* -
that can be configured to handle all these log file management options but
it looks like that's not the case.

You don't have to use LogFile. You can use SysLog and handle that way,
even sending to Windows Event Viewer.

Or just use logrotate.

Hi list,
I'm trying to keep the size of LogModule::LogFile in check in a better
way than allowed by configuring LogModule::LogFile::Date, which gives me
rollover to a new file every month.
A config that allows limiting the log file size (with overwrite when
threshold is reached or rolling over to a new file) is what I'm looking for.
Does OTRS have something like that?
