Re: Munin log rotator

Configuring logrotate for munin is pretty straight forward.

For instance on one of our Linux munin hosts I use this config

$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/munin 
/var/log/munin/*log {
    weekly
    rotate 5
    compress
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        {
        # Net::Server has a SIGHUP bug that although reported as
resolved here
        # http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=6077
        # still seems to be prevelant, why we can't run this
        #
        #/bin/kill -1 $(cat $(awk '$1~/^pid_file/{print$2}'
/etc/opt/munin/munin-node.conf)) 
        #
        # but rather restart the service
        /sbin/service munin restart || true
        } 2>/dev/null
    endscript
}
