[VuFind-Tech] Help needed with solr-log-rotation

[Katharina W. <wol...@fh...>]

Hello everybody!

After setting up solr to write it's logfiles to /var/log/solr/solr.log I then
set up logrotate in order to minimize the needed server space.

Now I've encountered problems when I wanted to analyze the older logfiles and
found that all the files seemed to end when the logrotate-process starts and a
new file only begins when the server or vufind is next rebootet. :-(

Here is the /etc/logrotate.d/solr-file:

/var/log/solr/solr.log {
    compress
    dateext
    maxage 365
    rotate 99
    size=+4096k
    daily
    notifempty
    missingok
    create 644 svnuser svn
}

I guess the problem is that solr needs to be told explicitly to start a new
logfile, but how do I do that? I googled but didn't really find a satisfying
answer to that problem...

Any tipps appreciated.
Kate
