[SOLVED] how to keep more access.log files in squid

roopakl · 03-06-2012, 09:31 AM

Hi..Everyone,
By default squid is keeping only 3 files i.e

Code:

#ls /var/log/squid3/access.log* | sort
/var/log/squid3/access.log
/var/log/squid3/access.log.1
/var/log/squid3/access.log.2.gz

I want to keep at least 7 files which will be having 7 days logs like access.log, access.log.1, access.log.2.gz, access.log.3.gz, access.log.4.gz and so on. So could anybody please advise that how can I achieve this. Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

Hi,

I guess it's logrotate that rotates logs. If that's the case open /etc/logrotate.d/squid (or something like that) and edit it accordingly.

Hi..bathory,
Thanks for the reply, here is output of that file

Code:

#cat /etc/logrotate.d/squid3
#
#	Logrotate fragment for squid3.
#
/var/log/squid3/*.log {
	daily
	compress
	delaycompress
	rotate 2
	missingok
	nocreate
	sharedscripts
	postrotate
		test ! -e /var/run/squid3.pid || /usr/sbin/squid3 -k rotate
	endscript
}

Here should I change to weekly instead of daily and rotate 7 instead of 2? Isn't it? And please let me know if any other needs to be changed.

Right. Well, if you want to keep 7 log files, then use rotate 6
