From a8b583669a74dc053b0073531d8d3076779416a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rainer Gerhards Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:12:28 +0200 Subject: CONFIG CHANGE: $HUPisRestart default is now "off". We are doing this to support removal of restart-type HUP in v5. Elaborate doc added to explain reasoning and actions to be taken. --- doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html') diff --git a/doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html b/doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html index 03842758..1fe72c5f 100644 --- a/doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html +++ b/doc/rsyslog_conf_global.html @@ -129,11 +129,15 @@ our paper on using multiple rule sets in rsyslog$GssForwardServiceName

  • $HUPisRestart [on/off] - if set to on, a HUP is a full daemon restart. This means any queued messages are discarded (depending on queue configuration, of course) all modules are unloaded and reloaded. This mode keeps compatible with sysklogd, but is -not recommended for use with rsyslog. To do a full restart, simply stop and start the daemon. The default is "on" for -compatibility reasons. If it is set to "off", a HUP will only close open files. This is a much quicker action and usually -the only one that is needed e.g. for log rotation. It is recommended to set the setting to "off".
