  • Logrotation of Mystic logs

    From Biite@21:3/120 to All on Wed Sep 30 14:46:28 2020
    Hi,

    Anyone set up logrotation of the Mystic logs on Linux? Is there some kind of command to flush the logs so I can use logrotate, because I'm now bounce the MIS server :).

    Regards,
    Martien

    Mystic can do it's own log rotating with logtype 1 or 2 in the config.

    You can set log caching in the logging options for mis.log and poll.log in mystic -cfg and mutil in the ini file.

    because I'm now bounce the MIS server :).

    The mis server may not log if you bounce it to hard.. ;)

    I disabled the built-in log rotation in Mystic, and am using logrotate
    instead as I'm used to. My /etc/logrotate.d/custom_mystic:

    /mnt/bbs/mystic/logs/*.log {
    daily
    notifempty
    missingok
    rotate 7
    compress
    delaycompress
    copytruncate
    su bbs bbs
    }

    (Mystic logs are in /mnt/bbs/mystic/logs and Mystic is running as the "bbs" user, "bbs" group.)

    Best regards
    Zip

    Will try with your settings... need to check if rotation is working correctly with running processes though.
