- reopen_logfile_on_SIGHUP_v0.patch (text/x-patch) patch v0
Large percentage of postgres installations, for example PGDG packages for Debian/Ubuntu, assume by default that log management will be handled by extrernals tools such as logrotate. Unfortunately such tools have no way to tell postgres to reopen log file after rotation and forced to use copy-truncate strategy that leads to a loss of log messages which is unacceptable. Small patch in the attachment implements logfile reopeninig on SIGHUP. It only affects the file accessed by logging collector, which name you can check with pg_current_logfile(). I hope you will find this feature useful. -- Anastasia Lubennikova Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company
