problem with rotatelogs time of day formatting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to set up piped access and error logs, with "rotatelogs", as I'm porting the configuration from Solaris box to a small cluster of Linux VMs running RHEL 5.

We're trying to use file name patterns like:

error_log_chnuinfow3.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.txt

The date substitutions are working, but the time of day characters come out as zeros. An example, and some system information, are quoted below.

I originally was trying to use rotatelogs from the Red Hat httpd RPMs.

But since they are a version of httpd 2.2.3 with back-ported patches,
I then tried building the newest httpd 2.2.21 from source, off to one side, with static support binaries.

That's the source of /usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs below. But both versions seem to have the same symptom.

I wrote a C program to test the system strftime, and that seemed to work as expected, but I suppose the APR library date/time library is what is being used, making that somewhat moot.

(I'm also aware of logrotate, and the legacy server just stops and starts the server in a nightly job that also rotates the logs in a shell script. Others wanted to do use piped log rotation,
I'm trying to make it work.)

Any ideas?

ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs -f /var/log/httpd/error_log_chnuinfow3.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.txt 86400"

Test of the system strftime on a similar pattern seems OK:

[lunde@chnuinfow3 ~]$ cat strftime_test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

/* gcc -ansi -Wall strftime_test.c -o strftime_test */

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{

time_t rawtime;
struct tm * timeinfo;
char buffer [80];
if(argc<2){
    printf("# Usage: strftime_test <format-string>\n");
    exit(0);
}

time ( &rawtime );
timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );

strftime (buffer,80,argv[1],timeinfo);
puts (buffer);

return 0;
}


[lunde@chnuinfow3 ~]$ ./strftime_test "%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S"
