MK-Livestatus und log rotation?

Hi,

wir haben hier MK Livestatus (1.1.12p7-1~bpo60+1) via icinga/modules laufen und lassen MK Livestatus auch loggen:

	Source code
1 2 3 4	module_name mklivestatus module_type neb path /usr/lib/check_mk/livestatus.o args = /var/lib/icinga/rw/live log_file=/var/log/icinga/mk_livestatus.log

Irgendwann sollte das Logfile ja mal rotiert werden und ich frage mich gerade wie ich MK Livestatus dazu bewege
nach dem Rotieren das neue Logfile zu verwenden - ein icinga reload reicht hier wohl und könnte via postrotate ein-
gebaut werden.

Gibt es noch einen anderen Weg (ausser das Logging auszuschalten)?

Gruß
Ralf

CopyTruncate verwenden um geöffnete Files zu rotieren.

http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html

Quoted

copytruncate
Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy,
instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new
one, It can be used when some program can not be told to close
its logfile and thus might continue writing (appending) to the
previous log file forever. Note that there is a very small time
slice between copying the file and truncating it, so some log-
ging data might be lost. When this option is used, the create
option will have no effect, as the old log file stays in place.
