Rotate haproxy logs
- by Jagbir
I tried few things but still not able to rotate haproxy logs efficiently. I need to rotate logs when log files crosses 500 MB size. Considering haproxy is serving large no. of static tcp connections, I can not restart haproxy process though a reload is doable. Daily haproxy log file size normally crosses 3 GB on my machine. Here's sample from one of newer machine where log file size is growing beyond limit set:
ubuntu@server:/mnt/log/haproxy$ ls -lsh
total 4.3G
85M -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 85M Jun 2 07:13 haproxy.log
2.9G -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 2.9G Jun 2 06:37 haproxy.log.1
460M -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 460M Jun 1 06:32 haproxy.log.2.gz
469M -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 469M May 31 06:42 haproxy.log.3.gz
384M -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 384M May 30 06:49 haproxy.log.4.gz
ubuntu@server:/mnt/log/haproxy$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/haproxy
/mnt/log/haproxy/haproxy.log {
missingok
copytruncate
notifempty
rotate 50
size 500M
compress
delaycompress
}
