issues #116 - log rotation with logrotate.d

[waikup83]

For implentation exemple

File in /etc/logrotate.d/daphne

/directory/of/log/daphne.log {
su root root
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 0640 www-data adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
ps aux | grep -v grep | grep '/directory/running/daphne' | awk '{system("kill -USR1 "$2)}'
endscript
}

test : logrotate -f daphne

Any chance of adding tests for this behaviour?

[waikup83]

Its hard to test the behaviour of logrotate.d ... no?

[carltongibson]

Surely we can send the signal and check that the the handler works correctly (i.e that the log files are correctly swapped)?

[waikup83]

maybe … but now i have not sush time to check how test are allready integrated and do one :/ … maybe later

[waikup83]

So you want a test.py to test if newly file is created ?!

[carltongibson]

Hi @waikup83. I'm working on a set of releases here for September, so I'll give this a run before then, and add a test for the signal handler. Thank you for the input!!!

[waikup83]

you will add a test or i have to add a test?

Discussion in #116 leans to not adding this directly in Daphne (but moving to use Python's logging framework as an orthogonal improvement). Thanks
