[SOLVED] logrotate does not compress rotated file - Wut - 03-29-2009 02:42 PM
I use ispcp1.0.0 on Debian Lenny 32bit
I run it on VPS so I get only 10GB space and I have some trouble with logs file size. So I have to edit /etc/logrotate.conf to rotate log everyday and compress it.
PHP Code:
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
daily
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 90
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0660 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be configured here
After I edit it, log was rotated but not compress. So my HDD problem still effect anyway T_T.
Any suggestion will be appreciated,

But in the logrotate config that comes with ispCP we compress the Logfiles
--> /etc/logrotate.d/ispcp/
Code:
/var/log/apache2/users/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
prerotate
/var/www/ispcp/engine/traffic/ispcp-vrl-traff > /var/log/ispcp/ispcp-vrl-traff.log
endscript
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null
endscript
}
/var/log/apache2/backup/*.log.perv {
size 5M
missingok
rotate 5
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 root adm
}
/var/log/proftpd/xferlog {
daily
rotate 7
missingok
compress
delaycompress
postrotate
if [ -e /var/run/syslogd.pid ]; then
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
elif [ -e /var/run/rsyslogd.pid ]; then
/usr/bin/killall -HUP rsyslogd
fi
endscript
}
/var/log/proftpd/ftp_traff.log {
daily
rotate 7
missingok
compress
delaycompress
prerotate
/var/www/ispcp/engine/traffic/ispcp-vrl-traff > /var/log/ispcp/ispcp-vrl-traff.log
endscript
postrotate
if [ -e /var/run/syslogd.pid ]; then
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
elif [ -e /var/run/rsyslogd.pid ]; then
/usr/bin/killall -HUP rsyslogd
fi
endscript
}Why did you set 90 instead of 4 Weeks ?

Sorry, look like it's my misunderstanding.
I change it in /etc/logrotate.d/ispcp and /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 and it's work.

Hi all,
I've just run out of space on my 10GB VPS and I noticed that all my log files are enormous... (e.g. mail.log and mail.log.prev are 575MB)
I don't seem to have any rotations going on at all...
I installed initially from an RC... 2 or 3, I think, and I'm currently running on RC6. Did the logrotate setup only start working after RC6?
How would I check to see for definite that it's not rotating?
Many thanks,
Jx

Ok - I've just checked... error.log in apache seems to be rotating and gzipping, but mail.* certainly isn't...
Any recommendations for best practice on that?
Cheers,

OK - so I've looked at it...
In the /etc/logrotate.d/ folder, there is a sendmail file which is all commented out...
And a syslog.bastille file which is empty...
Currently, my mail.info, mail.log and mail.log.prov are all around 5-600MB, as is my syslog file, and auth.log is 120MB.
The log rotation for apache and the other services seem to be working...
Whilst I'm using postfix (clearly), should I be uncommenting the sendmail log rotation file?
Also, is there a good syslog logrotation file that I could use?
Finally, will it screw things up with these massive log files when I run the logrotation for the first time?
Many thanks,
Jx
