Squid configuration directive logfile_rotate

This directive is not available in the v8 version of Squid.

For older versions than v5 see the linked pages above


Option Name:	logfile_rotate
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value:	logfile_rotate 10
Suggested Config:
Specifies the default number of logfile rotations to make when you type 'squid -k rotate'. The default is 10, which will rotate with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles yourself just before sending the rotate signal. Note, from Squid-3.1 this option is only a default for cache.log, that log can be rotated separately by using debug_options. Note, from Squid-4 this option is only a default for access.log recorded by stdio: module. Those logs can be rotated separately by using the rotate=N option on their access_log directive. Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1 <pid>'.
