Forwarding JVM Garbage Collector Logs
Recently I was tasked with forwarding logs to a central
log server - in this case JVM garbage collector logs
from Solr instances. Normally not a big deal. Configure log rotation (to
avoid filling the disk), then have rsyslog read the active
log file via an imfile
input.
Sounds simple, right? Until you realize that JVM log rotation
marks the active log with the extension .current
and rotates that
extension instead of actually rotating the logs.
