Configuration Details:
Option Name: | logfile_rotate |
---|---|
Replaces: | |
Requires: | |
Default Value: | logfile_rotate 10 |
Suggested Config: |
|
Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you type 'squid -k rotate'. The default is 10, which will rotate with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles yourself just before sending the rotate signal. Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1 <pid>'. Note, from Squid-3.1 this option has no effect on the cache.log, that log can be rotated separately by using debug_options |
