Re: [Summary-Talk] Using Summary with logs rotated by logrotate

[Nick Davis <ndavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is possible to do this.

If you have logrotate setup to gzip the logs, you need to setup two 
subreports 
for each set of logs for summary to work properly.

If you are not zipping the logs, you can just use a wild card in the 
logfile 
name in the summary config to get all of your logs. Everytime you logs 
get 
rotated, summary will figure out which are the new files and adjust 
accordingly.

DownURL: ftp://webserver.domain.com/logsfolder/logfile.log*

This will get logfile.log, logfile.log.1, logfile.log.2 etc.. And will 
work 
fine as long as you do not delete the logfiles off of your summary server.

If you want to be able to delete the logfiles off of your summary server, 
you 
need to use incremental mode as Jason said.
