Log rotation for unbound

Unbound
1

Is there a FAQ which indicates how one performs log rotation using unbound?

I am using version 1.4.16 under RHEL:

/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control status

version: 1.4.16
verbosity: 3
threads: 1
modules: 2 [ validator iterator ]
uptime: 85731 seconds
unbound (pid 2463) is running…

At the present time I am logging directly to a file:

logfile: unbound.log

With syslog turned off:

use-syslog: no

I am not sure what effect the command:

/usr/local/sbin/unbound-control log_reopen

does.

I would like to run a cron job, perhaps once per hour to rotate logs, compress files etc.

Thanks in advance.

Without any testing I would expect that you have to
1. move the logfile away
2. call /usr/local/sbin/unbound-control log_reopen
3. compress, print or delete the old logfile
