Since I believe that retrieving the logs easily without server file
access is a feature that's welcomed by many users, here's my proposal.
The attached diff will
- add a guc-variable log_filename
- extend log_destination to accept the keyword 'file'
- elog to that file if configured
- provide two functions pg_logfile_length() and pg_logfile to obtain the
contents.
int4 pg_logfile_length()
cstring pg_logfile(int4 size, int4 position)
size (may be null meaning max) is the chunk size (max: currently 50000)
position (may be null meaning -size) is the start position; positive
counting from log file start, negative from end.
Regards,
Andreas

Looks good to me. The only issue I saw was that the default file name
mentioned in postgresql.conf doesn't match the actual default.
Is this ready to be added to the patch queue?

Oh, it would need doc additions. I can do that when I apply, or you can

I'm really not happy with the concept that the postmaster overrides
its stderr direction.

One idea would be to send a message to stderr when this option is used stating that everything is going to 'filename'. Also can we close/reopen the file on SIGHUP. My guess is we can't because of all the backends accessing the output file. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Actually, my idea of sending a message to stderr saying we are using a
pre-configured file is so folks aren't surprised by the fact they can't
see any stderr anymore. But doesn't syslog have the same issue. Maybe
not, and that's why we need a message like:
"All standard output and standard error are going to postgresql.conf"
and send that to the processes standard error.

I don't understand this. I was thinking of close/reopen so log files
could be rotated.

Hm? I thought we'd just established that the patch wasn't going to
suppress output to stderr.

Log file rotation is fine, if we find a consensus quite soon how to
implement it... Seems as if I might find some time to implement it until
feature freeze.
The attached patch has the default filename issue fixed, and
documentation. Since I don't have a doc build system functional, there
might be tag mismatches or other typos; please check. IMHO this should
be committed without waiting for log rotation stuff.

Andreas

This has got portability issues (fopen("ab")) and I don't care for its
use of malloc in preference to palloc either. Also, pg_logfile() will
dump core if LogFileName returns null.
The bigger issue though is whether this is useful at all, if you cannot
solve the file rotation issue (and I don't think you can). As
implemented, the secondary log file cannot be truncated without
restarting the postmaster. I think that reduces it from a possibly
useful feature to a useless toy. (The fact that pg_logfile_length
returns int and not something wider is pretty silly in this connection.)
My vote is not to apply until and unless something that can rotate the
logfile is demonstrated ...

Agreed. Lets see where it goes.

Do we already have an applicable memory context in the postmaster at
that early stage of initialization?

How that?

This patch isn't trying to be better on logfile handling than the
default stderr redirection behavior, besides being able to access it
through the postmaster. Seems you insist to name this a toy, many users
don't.

2GB logfile seems pretty big...
