Summary: adding logrotate support in jabber to avoid server crash
Product: jabber
Version: 1.4.2a-9mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: jabber
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've got a request for jabber package : provide support for logrotate.
Indeed I was unable to start my local jabber server until I understand
that the problem's comes from /var/log/jabber/record.log and
/var/log/jabber/error.log .
error.log grow, and grow so much that at the end
jabber doesn't want to start as error.log was too big ( more than 7Mo,
maybe kopete related ... ). This limitation comes from xdb component.
So adding a script in /etc/logrotate.d could did the trick and allow to
don't have a jabber server stopping running at all ( this is limit a DoS
against jabber ).
weekly rotations should be enough with 4 copies for record.log, and
rotation when filesize exceed 1M should be enough for error.log :
/var/log/jabber/record.log {
monthly
rotate 4
notifempty
missingok
}
/var/log/jabber/error.log {
size=1M
rotate 4
notifempty
missingok
