Arguments

Description

Trigger the rotation of one or more log files.

If the file argument is provided one or more times to specify the target log file paths, then only those log files will be rotated. If the file argument is not given, then the server will trigger rotation for all supported log files.

You must have the config-read and config-write privileges to run this tool, and you must have the necessary access control rights to create and monitor entries in the task backend.

This tool schedules an operation to run within the Data Governance Server's process. LDAP connection options must be supplied that allow this tool to communicate with the server through its task interface. Tasks can be scheduled to run immediately or at a later time (see Task Scheduling Options below). Once scheduled, tasks can be managed using the manage-tasks tool.

Examples

Trigger rotation for all supported log files:
rotate-log --hostname directory.example.com --port 389 \
     --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password


Trigger rotation for only the 'logs/access' log file:
rotate-log --hostname directory.example.com --port 389 \
     --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
     --file logs/access
