Log rotation with automatic *.log file discovery
- by Mikko Ohtamaa
I am hosting several websites which each of run their own Python process and write *.log output files, but the directory structure is not standardized.
Example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone plone 125M 2012-08-29 11:35 ./x/var/log/instance-Z2.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone plone 19M 2012-08-29 00:07 ./zope2.9/y/log/event.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone plone 188M 2012-08-13 00:09 ./zope2.9/y/log/Z2.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 plone plone 137M 2010-11-16 09:41 ./zope2.9/y/log/event.log
I'd like to make log rotate autodiscovery these log files and run a log rotation on them, as opposite to manually type in every log file to logrotate conf.
Does any existing tools offer this kind of log file discovery and rotation capabilities, without manually specifying each file?
If not... then just write a shell script which generates the logrotate conf?
