Dear WinDRBD community,

I just released WinDRBD 1.1.21. The main difference to WinDRBD 1.1.20
is that optionally, log rotation of the windrbdlog and windrbdumhelper
services is supported. To enable it you have to edit the registry values:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\windrbdlog\Parameters\AppArgs
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\windrbdumhelper\Parameters\AppArgs

You can set them (for example) to

windrbdlog C:\mydir\myfile 1
windrbdumhelper C:\mydir\myumfile 1

to create a new logfile every hour (the timestamp is appended to the myfile).
Files are created only if there are log messages in that time period.

Many thanks to kasohrab <https://github.com/johannesthoma/drbd-utils/issues?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+author%3Akasohrab>who contributed this feature.

Best regards,

- Johannes
