Dotaz: logrotate na Debian Etch nerotuje spravne

[mozog]

Ahoj,

na jednom stroji pouzivam Debian Etch a zistil som, ze mi logrotate maze stare logy. V konfiguracii mam nastavene, aby rotoval denne a ponechal 735 starych logov. Ale on nechava iba poslednych 7 logov.

Tu je cast z /etc/logrotate.conf

daily
rotate 735
create
compress

Len dodam, ze log subor, o ktory mi ide sa nenachadza v separatnej konfiguracii - mal by sa rotovat podla globalnej konfiguracie.

Napada vas niekoho, cim by to mohlo byt ?

O jaký soubor se konkrétně jedná? Co když nastavíš logování na 5, funguje? Mrkni co říká v debug režimu.

Ide hlavne o mail.log

A co říká $ grep -ri mail.log /etc/logrotate.d/?

Etch má v backports balíček rsyslog a ten obsahuje /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog, ve kterém je právě definice pro mail.log.

grep -ri mail /etc/logrotate.* nenasiel nic

A v té globální konfiguraci je to rotate 735? Co ukáže logrotate -d?

Spustil som logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf a tu je vysledok:

reading config file /etc/logrotate.conf
including /etc/logrotate.d
reading config file acpid
reading config info for /var/log/acpid 
reading config file aptitude
reading config info for /var/log/aptitude 
reading config file dpkg
reading config info for /var/log/dpkg.log 
reading config file lighttpd
reading config info for /var/log/lighttpd/*.log 
reading config info for /var/log/wtmp 
reading config info for /var/log/btmp 

Handling 6 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/acpid  weekly (4 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/acpid
  log does not need rotating

rotating pattern: /var/log/aptitude  monthly (6 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/aptitude
  log /var/log/aptitude does not exist -- skipping

rotating pattern: /var/log/dpkg.log  monthly (12 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/dpkg.log
  log does not need rotating

rotating pattern: /var/log/lighttpd/*.log  weekly (12 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/lighttpd/access.log
  log does not need rotating
considering log /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
  log does not need rotating
not running shared postrotate script, since no logs were rotated

rotating pattern: /var/log/wtmp  monthly (1 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/wtmp
  log does not need rotating

rotating pattern: /var/log/btmp  monthly (1 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/btmp
  log does not need rotating

Tu je cely /etc/logrotate.conf

# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
daily

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 735

# 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 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be configured here
