Hi all,

&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a problem with logrotation under bro-ids. I use a rsyslog to forward all bro-ids logs to a third syslog central server. Problem appears when, every hour, broctl cron job rotates all bro logs. Rsyslog fails queueing bro-ids logs if third syslog central server is down for example.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it possible to rotate bro logs using logrotate program?? If not, is it possible to launch a rsyslog restart when broctl cron rotates logs??

Thanks.
