Re: Q: using logrotate for auditlog file

Hi Ulrich,
yes but leveraging the "copytruncate" option of logrotate. So you don't have
to worry about the open state of the file.

Or just read the auditlog source code and see what it does. This is one of the reasons that open source projects are open source.

    Hi!

    The manual does not say whether the file auditlog uses is kept open all
    the time, or is opened whenever a record is added. The difference is
    important if you want to use logrotate to rotate the auditlog file. I
    don't want to restart slapd when rotating the logs. That would be overkill.
    Has anybody done this with success?
