apachelog fails to re-read log after logrotate

[hakong]

So, I'm using apachelog to parse logs from both apache http and apache tomcat (works ok, very similar log format). At 00:00 tonight it stopped reading the tomcat log beacuse it was rotated, but the httpd log wasn't rotated so I don't know if it will fail there too.
Is there a way to make it survive logrotates?

Are you using the logrotate utility to rotate the logs? If so, you could restart the collectd plugin by adding
a postrotate rule to your logrotate config (there should already be a call for reload on httpd/tomcat to reopen its log files after rotation).

I'm doing that now (restart using postrotate), but it would be a cleaner solution to make it survive logrotates. Not a big problem though.
