[SOLVED] Logs not Rotating Properly.

anishkumarv · 11-25-2012, 07:00 AM

Hi all,

i configured logrotate for my application, this is my config file .

Quote:

/opt/logs/R2R-OTE {
daily
dateext
rotate 365000
missingok
notifempty
create 0644 nbc apache
}

i put this entry in this file /etc/logrotate.d/epp

but when i try to forceful logrotate using this option

Code:

/usr/sbin/logrotate -v -f /etc/logrotate.d/epp

i am getting this message only and its not rotating my logs.

Quote:

reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/epp
reading config info for /opt/logs/R2R-OTE

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /opt/logs/R2R-OTE forced from command line (365000 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed

kindly guide me to solve this issue.

run

Code:

ls -l

on your logfiles

PS are you REALLY sure about 'rotate 365000'; that's a hell of a lot of logfiles to leave lying around...

Thanks for the reply , ya thats not a problem friend because i don't want to delete the logs, i just want to rotate the logs.

Your entry inside the logrotate file must match the name of the logs to be rotated eg

Code:

cat syslog

/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
{
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
	/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

This '/opt/logs/R2R-OTE' does not match the name of any of the logfiles you've listed ...
