Automatic log archival
EELS can be configured to archive records from the
EELS database whenever the database reaches a
specific size. All records that are archived
in this way are removed from the database.
The configuration information for automatic archival is contained in
an auto-archive parameter block. Multiple auto-archive
blocks are allowed within a single configuration file. The parameter
block contains the following tags:
-
source
-
query
-
filename
-
trigger
-
frequency
The EELS daemon
(eelsd(1Meels))
monitors the size (specified by trigger)
of the table specified in source at an interval
specified by frequency. When the size is reached,
eelsd calls
eels_log_archive(1Meels)
to archive the results of query to an archive file called
filename; the archived records are then removed from the
database.
For more information on archiving, see
``Archiving EELS databases''.
