[Kea-users] loggers: support for file compression with enabled rotation

[Marek Hajduczenia]

As per subject, is there any way to trigger standard compression mechanisms
against rotated log files? I have multiple files as shown below, with log
size set to 100M, 10 files per log class, and I would like to see whether it
was possible to trigger compression against the rotated log files (.1 . .10)
to decrease their size on the drive. If that was possible, I could expand
the size of individual log files and hold on to them a tad longer. 

 

I did check the existing documentation and it does not seem like there is
anything accounted for. I would rather avoid platform-specific setup and
rely on Kea logger feature, if possible. 

 

Regards

 

Marek
