Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback on whether the following: newsyslog.conf file is correct to allow for daily log rotation for my Bind 9.16.30 logs ?

My currently logging settings in: named.conf are:

    ...
    logging {
        channel chn_file_queries {
            buffered no;
            file "/var/queries.log"
                versions 2 size 1g suffix increment;
            print-category yes;
            print-severity yes;
            print-time yes;
            severity info;
        };
        ...
    };
    ...

newsyslog.conf examples tend to make use of: pkill but I note in the Bind ARM and man page that signals are deprecated in favor of: rndc.

I am *thinking* the following should work for newsyslog.conf

/var/named/var/queries.log 640 7 * $D0 Z "/usr/sbin/rndc reconfig > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true"

So settings:

    Log path:     My Bind is running in chroot
    File mode:    0640
    Log count:    7 (1 per day)
    Size limit:   none
    Frequency:    $D0 (daily)
    Flags:        z to compress
    Binary:       rndc (instead of pkill)

Is this correct ?

Thank you,

- J
