Rotating Access Logs - LiveStats

[Proweb-UK]

We run Deepmatrix LiveStats to stat our vh traffic which relies on log files rotating on an arbitrary (in our casse, daily) basis with a unique log file name such as yyddmm.log. The logs are parsed on a 10 minute basis to indicate 'who's online' etc. I cannot find any examples to duplicate apache / rotatelog behaviour using an external app / pipe logger and would be grateful for any idea's ?


Thanks in advance, cool product btw.

Just rename the log file in a cron job, litespeed will create a new log file automatically. No special care need to be taken.

Just to be sure: No need to restart lsws? Are the old logfiles closed? (with Apache you need a restart)

 

[mistwang]

Yes, no need to restart LSWS, web server can detect it automatically, close the older file then create a new one.

Cool! I am so used to Apache that I sometimes don't even think that others can do better...
