Set up logrotate for server¶
How it works¶
seaf-server, ccnet-server (since version 3.1) and seafile-controller (since version 6.0.8) support reopenning
logfiles by receiving a SIGUR1
signal.
This feature is very useful when you need cut logfiles while you don't want to shutdown the server. All you need to do now is cutting the logfile on the fly.
Default logrotate configuration directory¶
For debian, the default directory for logrotate should be /etc/logrotate.d/
Sample configuration¶
Assuming your ccnet-server's logfile is /home/haiwen/logs/ccnet.log
and your
ccnet-server's pidfile for ccnet-server is /home/haiwen/pids/ccnet.pid
.
Assuming your seaf-server's logfile is setup to /home/haiwen/logs/seafile.log
and your
seaf-server's pidfile for seaf-server is setup to /home/haiwen/pids/seaf-server.pid
:
The configuration for logrotate could be like this:
/home/haiwen/logs/seafile.log
{
daily
missingok
rotate 15
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
[ ! -f /home/haiwen/pids/seaf-server.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /home/haiwen/pids/seaf-server.pid`
endscript
}
/home/haiwen/logs/ccnet.log
{
daily
missingok
rotate 15
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
[ ! -f /home/haiwen/pids/ccnet.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /home/haiwen/pids/ccnet.pid`
endscript
}
/home/haiwen/logs/index.log
{
monthly
missingok
rotate 15
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
sharedscripts
}
You can save this file, in debian for example, at /etc/logrotate.d/seafile
.
