File¶

This creates a static file output, always writing into the same file.

This parameter applies to omfile: File Output Module.

Name:: File
Scope:: action
Type:: string
Default:: action=none
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 8.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

This creates a static file output, always writing into the same file. If the file already exists, new data is appended to it. Existing data is not truncated. If the file does not already exist, it is created. Files are kept open as long as rsyslogd is active. This conflicts with external log file rotation. In order to close a file after rotation, send rsyslogd a HUP signal after the file has been rotated away. Either file or dynaFile can be used, but not both. If both are given, dynaFile will be used.
