According to the admin guide, to manually rotate the vertica.log file I should follow these steps:
Is it really okay to kill all of the vertica processes on the node? Won't this bring down Vertica?1. Rename or archive the vertica.log file that is produced. For example:
$ mv vertica.log vertica.log.1
2. Send the HP Vertica process the USR1 signal. For example:
$ killall -USR1 vertica
or
$ ps -ef | grep -i vertica
$ kill -USR1 process-id
