ServerLogSaver
ServerLogSaver
Description
Simply put, this will backup the server.log file to a directory, and then clear the existing server.log file. This is to reduce RAM usage of the server host and effectively reduce lag for server players.
Most of the functions in this are configurable, such as backup location, time delay between backups, choice of Size and Time rotations and more!

Hmmmm will look into it and think about it. But I think it would be hard to split the [WARNING], [SEVERE], etc since some of them get quite long.
In other news: v2.0.1 is out with a new rotation choice, restart. A new config is not necessary and will only change the comments that i added about the new rotation (limited as they are).

As of now it already backs up as soon as the server starts up, but then it carries on with the schedule. But you want it to only EVER backup when it restarts? Yea i think that should be simple enough.
Will do it later today.

Posted Feb 18, 2012Thanks bootscreen88 i'll check your solution
Laserhog I was wondering if you could add another rotation choice type : restart It would obviously backup log on server restart
What do you think ?

Posted Feb 17, 2012Relative path is easy on Unix. use a "." for the directory of your craftbukkit.jar followd by a foldername, e.g. CustomLocation: ./Backup/ saves the backup in the folder Backup which is located in the folder where my PluginsFolder and my Craftbukkit.jar are.

Posted Feb 13, 2012@Laserhog Relative path is a path relative to a file : For instance, instead of C:/Program Files/Example Folder, you will have /Example Folder
And you are right i Didn't Think it Through, sorry u_u'

What is relative path? And if you are using a host I'm pretty sure it would be easier to simply save the logs in the plugins directory.

Do you have some other plugin that restarts the server every hour? That's the only reason i can think of because it works for everyone else.

Posted Feb 11, 2012I was thinking, it could be great to be able to use relative path for file saving (for those like me who own rent hosting for their server and dont have access to the absolute path)

Posted Jan 11, 2012I'd also like to request timed deletion of old logs. Seems like something this should have.

KB, as i have now added in the features list (i forgot to put it in the new config.yml.....).
Yes, once it reaches the limit it backs up the log. Often it wont happen for a few seconds after it reaches the limit however as i put it on a several second loop of checking.

Posted Dec 27, 2011MaxLogSize: 100????? In bytes or KB/MB?
Also once that limit is reached does it backup the log?

Alright. for the next version i will work on this. I will make it configurable too, so it could be 7 days or however many you wish. I hope this is possible though, will do some research into this.

Posted Dec 26, 2011I would like to recommend a feature that will delete a backup after 7 days. This will allow allow for space saving and on average you wont need a log that is older then 7 days.
Thx

Posted Dec 9, 2011Ok, i think the problem may be in the config.yml so...
WHEN UPDATING TO 2.0, PLEASE LET A NEW CONFIG GENERATE.
