You can edit this file path if you want to rename the log file or change its location. You may also want to check the logs collected for Redis by systemd. Ubuntu To learn how to use the journalctl command for this purpose, please read this article about journalctl.

So Redis supports an interesting feature: it is able to rebuild the AOF in the background without interrupting service to clients. If you're using the AOF with Redis 2. Since Redis 2. The child process executes the rewrite logic and generates a new base AOF. Redis will use a temporary manifest file to track the newly generated base file and incremental file.
When they are ready, Redis will perform an atomic replacement operation to make this temporary manifest file take effect. In order to avoid the problem of creating many incremental files in case of repeated failures and retries of an AOF rewrite, Redis introduces an AOF rewrite limiting mechanism to ensure that failed AOF rewrites are retried at a slower and slower rate. You can configure how many times Redis will fsync data on disk.
There are three options:. The suggested and default policy is to fsync every second. It is both very fast and pretty safe. The always policy is very slow in practice, but it supports group commit, so if there are multiple parallel writes Redis will try to perform a single fsync operation.
It is possible that the server crashed while writing the AOF file, or that the volume where the AOF file is stored was full at the time of writing. When this happens the AOF still contains consistent data representing a given point-in-time version of the dataset that may be old up to one second with the default AOF fsync policy , but the last command in the AOF could be truncated.
The latest major versions of Redis will be able to load the AOF anyway, just discarding the last non well formed command in the file. In this case the server will emit a log like the following:.
You can change the default configuration to force Redis to stop in such cases if you want, but the default configuration is to continue regardless of the fact the last command in the file is not well-formed, in order to guarantee availability after a restart.
If the AOF file is not just truncated, but corrupted with invalid byte sequences in the middle, things are more complex. Redis will complain at startup and will abort:. The best thing to do is to run the redis-check-aof utility, initially without the --fix option, then understand the problem, jump to the given offset in the file, and see if it is possible to manually repair the file: The AOF uses the same format of the Redis protocol and is quite simple to fix manually.
Otherwise it is possible to let the utility fix the file for us, but in that case all the AOF portion from the invalid part to the end of the file may be discarded, leading to a massive amount of data loss if the corruption happened to be in the initial part of the file. Log rewriting uses the same copy-on-write trick already in use for snapshotting. This is how it works:. Redis forks , so now we have a child and a parent process.
The parent opens a new increments AOF file to continue writing updates. If the rewriting fails, the old base and increment files if there are any plus this newly opened increment file represent the complete updated dataset, so we are safe. When the child is done rewriting the base file, the parent gets a signal, and uses the newly opened increment file and child generated base file to build a temp manifest, and persist it.
Now Redis does an atomic exchange of the manifest files so that the result of this AOF rewrite takes effect. Redis also cleans up the old base file and any unused increment files. The parent accumulates all the new changes in an in-memory buffer but at the same time it writes the new changes in the old append-only file, so if the rewriting fails, we are safe.
When the child is done rewriting the file, the parent gets a signal, and appends the in-memory buffer at the end of the file generated by the child. Now Redis atomically renames the new file onto the old one, and starts appending new data into the new file.
There is a different procedure to do this in version 2. This is optional, if you wish you can take both the persistence methods enabled. Thursday, November 3, AM. Hi, Thanks for posting here. Configure redis. Wednesday, November 16, AM.
Hi, I see it's a few years old question and answer, but I am having similar issue with Redis log rotation implementation in windows. Is there any way to resolve this with Redis running as a windows service? Since Redis 2. This is very useful for testing purposes. The following is an example that starts a new Redis instance using port as a replica of the instance running at The format of the arguments passed via the command line is exactly the same as the one used in the redis.
Note that internally this generates an in-memory temporary config file possibly concatenating the config file passed by the user if any where arguments are translated into the format of redis.
