Core-Lightning Log Monitor + Rotator

Core-Lightning allows for automatic log rotation use logrotate.

This repo contains a barebones lightningd entry for logrotate. It rotates log daily. It also calls a prerotation handler which looks for "BROKEN" in the logs, and emails you that day's breaks.

Usage

1. Copy lightningd into /etc/logrotate.d
2. Update the lightningd to point to the correct logfile, where parselogs.py is and the PID file location for your lightningd daemon
3. Update parselogs.py with your email information (password and email to send/receive from)
4. Make sure parselogs.py can run chmod +x parselogs.py
5. ???
6. Have your logs rotate automatically and get emailed notifications when things break.

/PATH/TO/.lightning/logs/log {
	...
        prerotate
                /PATH/TO/parselogs.py
        endscript
        postrotate
                kill -HUP $(cat /PATH/TO/.lightning/lightning.pid)
	endscript
