logrotated
can be configured to send a SIGHUP
signal to a process after rotating it's logs. This library reopens the underlying os.File
when a SIGHUP
is received by the app.
This is will enable all log calls to output to the log file without interruption when logrotated
rotates the file.
logfile, err := logrotate.NewFile("/log/path/here")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.SetOutput(logfile)
