[cobalt-users] Still on Webalizer gaps, please review this solution

[Mikael Siirilä <mikael.siirila@xxxxxxxxx>]

Having read the discussions on Webalizer problems on this list, I have tried
to fix the gaps in Webalizer data by calling statistics analysis after
split_logs but before site-specific logs are rotated.

This I did by removing webalizer.pl from the cron.daily directory and
calling it from /logrotate.d/apache right after split_logs:

- - -

/var/log/httpd/access {
    prerotate
        /usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /var/log/httpd/access
# Stats generated here:
        /etc/webalizer.pl
    endscript
    missingok
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
    daily
}

- - -

Does this sound like a reasonable and working solution? Is the
/logrotate.d/apache file replaced by the GUI at any point? Should Webalizer
settings be adjusted with this setup?

Changing file names (suggested earlier on the list) don't seem to work,
cause statistics analysis has to done after log splitting (populating
web.logs) but before web.logs are rotated.

Thanks for all help!
