# writelog(1)

Logfile writing daemon for gatling

## NAME

writelog - Logfile writing daemon for gatling

## SYNOPSIS

writelog LOGFILE CMDLINE

## DESCRIPTION

**Writelog** is a daemon that writes the logfile of gatling. Gatling only writes to stdout, so writelog enables logrotation of this data stream by providing a handler of SIGUSR1 for closing and reopening the specified logfile.

The following signals are handled by writelog:

- SIGTERM

  Terminates writelog and its child (gatling).

- SIGUSR1

  Causes writelog to reopen the logfile. Useful for logrotation.

- SIGHUP

  Delegates SIGHUP to gatling.

## EXAMPLES

writelog /var/log/gatling.log tlsgatling -e -v -D -S -F -U -u nobody
