How to perform log file splitting on Windows?

[107295472]

Linux has logrotate, while on Windows, you can only rotate log files by restarting the service.

It would be even better if variable paths were supported, like this: log "logs/ferron-$year-$month-$day.log"

Can the log URL be a different host? Like this: status 403 url="http://192.168.10.193:6541" body="{"client_ip":"{client_ip}","method":"{method}","path":"{path}"}"

Thank you!

I just implemented support for simple file size-based log rotation for the next version of Ferron 2.

Here's an example of how you'd be able to use it:

globals {
    log_date_format "%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z"
    log_format "{client_ip} - {auth_user} [{timestamp}] \"{method} {path_and_query} {version}\" {status_code} {content_length} \"{header:Referer}\" \"{header:User-Agent}\""

    // Rotate access logs when they reach 100MB, keep 5 rotated files
    log_rotate_size 104857600  // 100 * 1024 * 1024
    log_rotate_keep 5

    // Rotate error logs when they reach 50MB, keep 3 rotated files
    error_log_rotate_size 52428800  // 50 * 1024 * 1024
    error_log_rotate_keep 3
}

example.com {
    log "/var/log/ferron/example.com.access.log"
    error_log "/var/log/ferron/example.com.error.log"
}

If you're curious, it's in the 4df44aa commit.
