Just got a strange request.
One of my colleagues wants to be able to keep the raw data (as accessed
from the "Client data available" link on most test pages.
He is looking to keep an archive of at least 3 days.
I see we can set --store-clientlogs for this purpose, but it only keeps
if there was a change. Is there a setting to keep the lot?
No, but you can easily put together a server-side module to grab the
data from the "client" channel in Hobbit. If you just want to store it
in one large file, then running
bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=client cat >clientlogs.gz
will do it. Pipe it through gzip to save space :-)
If you want to store it in separate files per host or do some other
processing, see the hobbitd_rootlogin.pl script for an example of how to
handle messages from the Hobbit channels.
How long are those files kept for? How is that specified?
The client logs stored by --store-clientlogs (which is ON by default)
are kept until you delete them. There's no automatic cleanup.
