Description Daniel Tröder univentionstaff 2015-04-23 09:55:04 CEST
Logs of both Cyrus and Postfix end up in /var/log/mail.*
With Cyrus being very noisy (especially when used for authentication with Horde or OX) it is desirable to divert its output into a separate logfile.
Comment 1 Daniel Tröder univentionstaff 2015-04-23 13:48:16 CEST
Creating a file /etc/rsyslog.d/cyrus.conf with the following content diverts all Cyrus output into /var/log/cyrus.log:

:programname,isequal,"cyrus"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"cyrus"    ~

I added a few more program names, because of existed log entries in mail.log from cyrus processes.
My /etc/rsyslog.d/cyrus.conf:

:programname,isequal,"cyrus"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"master"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"ctl_cyrusdb"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"imaps"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"imap"    /var/log/cyrus.log
:programname,isequal,"cyrus"    ~
:programname,isequal,"master"    ~
:programname,isequal,"ctl_cyrusdb"    ~
:programname,isequal,"imaps"    ~
:programname,isequal,"imap"    ~
Comment 3 Tobias Birkefeld univentionstaff 2015-04-30 12:57:56 CEST
I also added a config for logrotate of this new logfile. Creating a file /etc/logrotate.d/cyrus with the following content:

/var/log/cyrus.log
{
        weekly
        rotate 12
        create 640 root adm
        compress
        missingok
        notifempty

        delaycompress
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                invoke-rc.d cyrus-imapd reload > /dev/null
        endscript
}

There is a Customer ID set so I set the flag "Enterprise Customer affected".
