Gretings all.  Looking for help in tying to configure rsyslog to limit the
size of a particular file that is being generated (its from an ASA
Firewall).  My question is how would I accomplish this when using rsyslog
templates.  For example, I am using the following template:

[code:1h2oyebd]$template
RemoteHost,"/var/log/remote-syslog/%$YEAR%/%$MONTH%/%$DAY%/syslog-%fromhost-ip%.log"[/code:1h2oyebd]


I understand that I would need to make an entry in my logrotate.conf file
but just not sure how to go about this when using dynamic files...

[code:1h2oyebd]/var/log/?????????? {
   missingok
   size 500MB
   start 0
   compress
   create 0600 root root
   rotate 365
   postrotate
     /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
   endscript
}[/code:1h2oyebd]

Thanks in advance,

BKJ
