Add support for log file compression #43
Conversation
It is insufficient to just check the length of test files, especially given that many of the tests result in multiple files that have the same content/length. Instead, actually check that the file content is what it is expected to be. Vary the content that is being written so that the test failures become apparent. This also fixes a case where the length of the wrong value is checked following a write (it happens to work since the length of the value checked is the same as that written).
Simplify the timeFromName parsing (we only need to slice once, not twice) and actually parse the extracted time in the timeFromName function rather than returning an abitrary string that may or may not be a time. Also conver the timeFromName tests into table driven tests.

Rather than scanning for old log files (under lock) when a rotation occurs, a goroutine is started when we first open or create a log file. Post-rotation compression (if enabled) and removal of stale log files is now designated to this goroutine. Scanning, removal and compression are run in the same goroutine in order to minimise background disk I/O, with removals being processed prior to compression in order to free up disk space. This results in a small change in existing behaviour - previously only logs would be removed when the first rotation occurs, whereas now logs will potentially be removed when logging first starts.
First two commits look good, thanks for the cleanup. Looking at the compression code now (obviously a bigger and more complicate change). |
Ack, thanks. |
@natefinch any further progress? Anything I can assist with or clarify? |
Hey @natefinch, was really hoping to get this into Juju 2.2-rc1 (tomorrow). |
@howbazaar crap, sorry. Reviewing now. |
Thanks @natefinch, I really appreciate it. |
@4a6f656c tested this with Juju and the fill-logs charm that the CI test uses.
We'd want the rolled file to have the same owner/group as the source file. |
@natefinch I don't suppose you recall how the syslog user is set as the file owner/group in Juju do you? |
ahh yeah, the file is initially created by something else as syslog, I forget what, and there's code in lumberjack when it rotates a file to copy over the mode and chown it to what the last file was. That mode and chown code will need to be reused for the zipped file. See this chunk here: /~https://github.com/natefinch/lumberjack/blob/v2.0/lumberjack.go#L206 Other than that, this looks good. |
Previously the test only verified that the code called Chown but failed to verify what it actually called Chown on. This reworks the code so that we have a fake file system that tracks file ownership. This also simplifies upcoming additional tests.
Clone the log file owner and the log file mode to the compressed log file. Add tests to ensure that this is handled correctly.
@natefinch, @howbazaar - done. |
Thanks for all your work, Joel. This looks really good. |
This directive will enable gzip compression provided by [Lumberjack](natefinch/lumberjack#43). The directive `rotate_compress` can be `true` or `false`, being `false` by default.

* v2 is go! * update readme and mention gopkg.in in godoc * remove travis.yml, update badges, use drone.io for builds * fix link in badge * fix link in badge * comment to make MaxAge units more obvious * fix a spot where an error was not properly returned * add changes to maintain perms and owner of logfile * fix test failures on windows * Update README.md add badge for windows build * Fixed import in example test to use gopkg.in. * Fix bug natefinch#12 Fixes bug natefinch#12. If the first write to a file would cause it to rotate, instead of rotating, we'd just move it aside. This change fixes that problem by ensuring that we just run rotate in this situation, which does the right thing (open new and then cleanup.) Also added test to verify the fix. * add coverage badge * Switch to using gopkg.in/yaml.v2 * Update rotate_test.go to use v2 of project Hi there. I thought it would be nice for the rotate example to use v2 of the package. * Use gopkg.in provider instead of github * fix filemode in tests (natefinch#28) This fixes natefinch#20 by using a more restrictive filemode during tests. * update docs w/ backup format info * Add support for log file compression (natefinch#43) * Check test file content, not just length.
