Обсуждение: Recycle error logs
Please advise if there is a way to start a fresh Postgresql error / output log at regular intervals?
We are tuning a "new toproduction" system, so I have all the SQL logged, but the file gets too big and cumbersome, so I'd like to start a new one each morning without restarting Postgres.

PostgreSQL 8.0.0 and above has a built-in log rotation mechanism. Check postgresql.conf for this. See the section "Error reporting and logging". log_rotation_age will help you to determine daily rotation. Also set log_filename to point only to %Y-%m-%d .

As mentioned previously, it's built into 8.0 and up. If you're stuck on a version before that, you can use apache's log rotator to do the job. Something like this: pg_ctl start | /usr/sbin/rotatelogs /logs/pgsql 86400
Many thanks to all of you that helped with this.
