I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to change the name of the vpxd log file and rotation/compression that vCenter performs. I want to have vpxd.log asthe only file that ever gets written to and to set log rotation to be the same that any normal syslog service would do by compressing the log and incrementing the compressed filename. I'll try to explain what I'm trying to change
The vpxd log file is created as vpxd-01.log. Once it hits the file size threshold, a new file is created with a name that increments up from the previous file, e.g. vpxd-02.log. Eventually the files are rotated and old log files get compressed at some point after the new files are created. So a new file is created called vpxd-03.log and vpxd-01.log gets compressed as vpxd.-01.log.gz. I simply want vpxd message to be written to one log file: vpxd.log.
Does anybody know if this is possible?
