检测日志文件旋转（在监视日志文件进行修改的同时）

Question

我使用以下代码跟踪ssh登录：

def follow(thefile):
  thefile.seek(0,2)
  while True:
    line = thefile.readline()
    if not line:
      time.sleep(0.1)
      continue
    yield line

if __name__ == '__main__':
  logfile = open('/var/log/auth.log', 'r')
  loglines = follow(logfile)
  for line in loglines:
    print 'do something here'

我注意到该脚本在几天后突然停止工作。我没有任何错误，它不会终止，只会停止工作，好像readline()永远不会返回。

所以我执行了a echo 'test' >> auth.log.1，这的确最终被脚本处理了，因为前一段时间auth.log将其重命名为auth.log.1

如何跟踪这种日志轮换的时间并进行相应调整？

Answer 1

使用e4c5的答案，我得到了这段代码，该代码还解决了readline()每秒调用多次的问题。

在第一次调用期间，它会跳到文件末尾并等待修改。移动文件后，它将重新打开文件并读取全部内容，然后开始等待。

import os
import time
import traceback
import threading
import inotify.adapters

logfile = b'/var/log/auth.log'
#logfile = b'logfile.log'

from_beginning = False

      time.sleep(1)
