RE: [monit] Testing for file size during specific time period

[Tomich,John]

Thank you for responding so quickly.  Yes, I had pretty much come to the conclusion that instead of calling logrotate directly, as we currently do, we'll need to call a script that wraps logrotate, as you suggest.  It seems the need to not rotate logs during peak load hours is a recent development, whereas previously, we were able to do this without negative system impact.

 

I appreciate your timely confirmation.

Hi,

you can use the exec action to run your custom script which may skip the logrotate based on current time. For example:

  check file myfile with path /my/file

     if size > 100MB then exec "/opt/scripts/do_logrotate.sh /my/file"

whereas the do_logrotate.sh can do something like this (abstract):

  if dayofweek == sunday

    return;

  else

   mv $1 $1.old

Hi,

I'm new to monit and have a need to instruct monit to cause a logrotate if a certain file size threshold is reached, UNLESS the current system time is between certain endpoints.  Can anyone help me with how to configure this?
