Syslog Output File Splitting HOURLY at Syslog Server
I have implemented syslog server on CentOS and using below Template to generate output file on daily basis -
$template TmplNationalIP_PL, "/var/log/NIPFW/MX480/CGNAT_PL_%$year%.%$month%.%$day%"
if ($msg contains 'OR_NAT' and $msg contains '55.91.165.') then ?TmplNationalIP_PL
& ~
Similar to above (daily), I am looking to split syslog files on HOURLY basis (instead of daily).
Can you please suggest how I can split syslog messages files on HOURLY basis as I couldn't find any HOURLY variables to use?
Also, I am using logrotate + cron jobs but there is no option to rotate hourly basis in logrotate (minimum is daily).
Below is the snip from cat /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/var/log/NIPFW/MX480
{
rotate 50
daily
copytruncate
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
dateext
maxage 30
sharedscripts
postrotate
reload rsyslog >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
cron rsyslog syslog logrotate

The hour-based system property for rsyslog is appropriately called '$hour'. This is documented under the rsyslog Properties page.
Therefore, you can modify your template as shown below to generate hourly log files:
$template TmplNationalIP_PL,"/var/log/NIPFW/MX480/CGNAT_PL_%$year%.%$month%.%$day%.%$hour%"

cron and logrotate
The script /etc/cron.daily/logrotate is located in the daily folder.
You have to move it to /etc/cron.hourly and change daily to hourly in your config file.
