Rotate log file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eve-log can be configured to rotate based on time.
::
outputs:
- eve-log:
filename: eve-%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M.json
rotate-interval: minute
The example above creates a new log file each minute, where the filename contains
a timestamp. Other supported ``rotate-interval`` values are ``hour`` and ``day``.
In addition to this, it is also possible to specify the ``rotate-interval`` as a
relative value. One example is to rotate the log file each X seconds.
::
outputs:
- eve-log:
filename: eve-%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S.json
rotate-interval: 30s
The example above rotates eve-log each 30 seconds. This could be replaced with
``30m`` to rotate every 30 minutes, ``30h`` to rotate every 30 hours, ``30d``
to rotate every 30 days, or ``30w`` to rotate every 30 weeks.
