Squid führt den logfile_rotate Befehl nicht aus

Problem

Squid führt keine Rotation des Logs

Lösung

Damit squid -k rotate ausgeführt wird muss in squid.conf hinterlegt sein, wie viele Files Squid anlegen soll.

Beispiel :

logfile_rotate 100 generiert 100 Instanzen der Logfiles

Schritt 1 : aus access.log wird access.log.0

Schritt 2 : aus access.log.0 wird access.log.1
aus access.log   wird access.log.0

usw. usf.

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
