Truncating the Nagios logs

[BOLLENGIER Eric]

Hi,

It's a bad idea to move the logfile... you MUST truncate.
You can do something like

#!/bin/sh
cat > /var/log/nagios/process_data.log << EOF
EOF

or you can use program like logrotate or cfengine

bye

> #!/bin/sh
> DATE=`date +%d%m%Y`
> mv /var/log/nagios/process_data.log /var/log/nagios/archives/process_data_$DATE.log
> echo "`date +%c` [NAGIOS] Rotation du fichier nagios_perdata.log" >> /var/log/messages
>
