I’m working with an application running on PostgreSQL 7.4.17
on RedHat Enterprise Linux. When asked to troubleshoot a problem, I found
out the script that starts the PostgreSQL server (/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql)
was logging to /dev/null To try to fix this, I changed PGLOG=/dev/null to
PGLOG=”| /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/pgsql 86400” Similar to what is detailed here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/logfile-maintenance.html When I restarted the server it caused an error that the file “|
/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/pgsql 86400” I made sure rotatelogs is
installed, available, and working. Is this a setup that only works with new versions of PostgreSQL?
As far as I know upgrading is not an option and syslog is not available for
use. Any suggestions to get log rotation working? On a related note, I’m currently just doing “PGLOG=/var/log/pgsql”.
It is working, but there are no timestamps in the file except for when the
database was restarted. Any configuration option that can be changed to
get timestamps in the log file? This communication is for informational purposes only.
