Обсуждение: Log File Maintainance
Hello,
I am working on live server where we have installed postgres database as our back end. But now the problem is due to continues work on postgres, size of log files has become problem for us. And the partition where our postgres exists is full. Postmaster is not working now. I tried to rotate log file by adding lines in postgresql.conf
****************************************************
syslog = 2 # range 0-2
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'
syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0'
syslog_ident = 'postgres'
********************************
But it doesn't working. Is there anything else I had to due in this respect. I think I am missing some point.
Also I had written rotate script and save it at location :/etc/logrotate.d
******************************************************
/usr/local/pgsql/data/serverlog
{
weekly
notifempty
rotate 2
create
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
{
weekly
notifempty
rotate 2
create
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
***************************************************
But when I am executing following command it is flagging error
**************************************************
[root@iemstesting logrotate.d]# logrotate -f -v postgres
reading config file postgres
reading config info for /usr/local/pgsql/data/logfile
reading config file postgres
reading config info for /usr/local/pgsql/data/logfile
error: postgres:6 unexpected log filename
*************************************************
*************************************************
Please guide me thru...............

I use apache's log rotator and start the server in rc.local: su - postgres -c 'pg_ctl start | /usr/sbin/rotatelogs $PGDATA/logs/pgsql 86400 2>1& &'
A followup, there was a type in my last post, shoulda been: su - postgres -c 'pg_ctl start | /usr/sbin/rotatelogs $PGDATA/logs/pgsql 86400 2>&1 &' Note that change in the 2>&1...
