        <h1 id="logrotate">1. Logrotate</h1>

        <p><a href="https://fedorahosted.org/logrotate/">Logrotate</a>
        allows automatic rotation, compression,
        removal, and  mailing of log files. Each log file may
        be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows
        too large. I have used Mikhail Kolesnik from openbunker,
        use syslog-ng as example how to create package from now on.</p>

        <pre>
        $ sudo prt-get depinst logrotate
        $ sudo vim /etc/logrotate.conf
        </pre>

        <pre>
        IMPORTANTE

        Preciso por o logrotate a comprimir apenas depois do
        segundo ciclo para o samhain ficar feliz.

        Thus log rotation will be handled gracefully as long
            as the inode is kept (i.e. the old file is moved rather than copied)
            and the first rotated file is not compressed (the logrotate tool can
            be told to compress only after the second cycle, and on Debian this
            seems to be standard anyway).
        </pre>

        # see "man logrotate" for details

        # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
        create

        # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
        compress

        <p>You can force logrotate to test configuration;</p>
