Doesn't quite work for me. I have SARG generate daily reports for my
proxy usage and if logrotate happens before the SARG process is started,
then it generates reports from what is currently in access.log, ie. it's
doesn't fetch data from the rotated logs. Other utilities for log
analysis may behave differently.
Well, you could run a daily cron job that pulls everything with
yesterday's date out of the log and the rotated log, and puts the
results in a file with the correct date as part of the name. Or, if
you want to archive the entire month in one file, append the output
to a fine. Then have a monthly job that renames the file to the
correct mouth and year, and create a new, empty file to collect the
next month's job. That way, the daily cron job doesn't have to know
the month.
The possibilities are endless. :-)
