log.file¶

Writes impstats statistics records to the specified local file in addition to other outputs.

This parameter applies to impstats: Generate Periodic Statistics of Internal Counters.

Name:: log.file
Scope:: module
Type:: word
Default:: module=none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

If specified, statistics data is written to the specified file. For robustness, this should be a local file. The file format cannot be customized; it consists of a date header, followed by a colon, followed by the actual statistics record, all on one line. Only very limited error handling is done, so if things go wrong stats records will probably be lost. Logging to file can be a useful alternative if for some reasons (e.g. full queues) the regular syslog stream method shall not be used solely. Note that turning on file logging does NOT turn off syslog logging. If that is desired, log.syslog (logSyslog in camelCase examples) must be explicitly set to off.
