rotatelogz - gzipping rotatelogs variant without APR
Hello!
I have a setup where logfiles etc. are periodically transferred
(rsynced) over a network-link at runtime, and disk space as well as
transfer time/bandwidth are relevant.
I didn't find a gzipping filter for APR, and didn't want to implement
yet another specialized gzip-implementation like mod_deflate for it, so
I took rotatelogs and converted it to use zlib, stripping some unneeded
and (in this setup) hard-to-support functionality as well.
It might be useful to someone else, so please find it attached for
inclusion. I hereby place it under the Apache License 2.0 and transfer
all relevant rights to the Apache Software Foundation.
Best regards,
Andreas

yeah, but it wouldn't be of any additional use for me :) it's even
unlikely that I'll have any further additions/changes to rotatelogz as
it is ...
For those interested:
- logging to FIFOs
- reading those FIFOs and other thinks via syslog-ng
- writing via syslog-ng
- syncing to upstream via rsync over stunnel
Cheers ;)
Andreas

You could do a version of mod_log_rotate too if you fancy :)
