Add logrotation file for Tomcat to Loway repo

(1/1)

emilec:
If you install Tomcat from the CentOS repo it creates a logrotation file which will ensure that logs are rotated weekly. If you install Tomcat from the Loway repo no logrotation file is created. I would like to propose creating a /etc/logrotate.d/qm-tomcat6 file which is installed from the Loway Repo. The naming convention follows that of the tomcat init script Loway creates.

The default tomcat file looks as follows:
/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat5

--- Code: ---/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out {
    copytruncate
    weekly
    rotate 52
    compress
    missingok
}
--- End code ---

I think the log rotation should be a bit more aggressive and can deal with *.log:
/etc/logrotate.d/qm-tomcat6

--- Code: ---/usr/local/queuemetrics/tomcat/logs/*.log {
    notifempty
    copytruncate
    daily
    size=+1024k
    rotate 10
    compress
    missingok
}

/usr/local/queuemetrics/tomcat/logs/catalina.out {
    notifempty
    copytruncate
    dateext
    daily
    size=+1024k
    rotate 10
    compress
    missingok
}

--- End code ---

I have gone through the manual steps to set this up in this thread: http://forum.queuemetrics.com/index.php?topic=1441.0

QueueMetrics:
Thanks I'll add this for the next release. We will have some changes to infrastructure, most notably an easy way to run AGAW :-)

We track this as bug #1587

emilec:
UPDATE: I have subsequently added size=+1024k to my suggestion as this seems to get past the logrotate.conf issues of only rotating logs weekly (first post updated).
