logrotate is not rotating my logs
To verify that the logfile is not empty:
# ls -laFh /var/log/cisco-meraki.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 2.8G Sep 5 13:23 /var/log/cisco-meraki.log
Configuration (/etc/logrotate.d/zzzzz_default):
"/var/log/cisco-meraki.log" {
daily
rotate 10
compress
missingok
notifempty
create
}
Global config (logrotate.conf):
daily
rotate 10
create
include /etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/wtmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0660 root utmp
rotate 1
}
Trying a manual run:
# logrotate --verbose -d zzzzz_default
reading config file zzzzz_default
Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: "/var/log/cisco-meraki.log" after 1 days (10 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/cisco-meraki.log
log does not need rotating
To verify that the problem is not "allready rotated" I checked:
# cat /var/lib/logrotate/status|grep cisco
"/var/log/cisco-ace.log" 2016-1-19-16:0:0
"/var/log/cisco-pix.log" 2016-1-19-16:0:0
"/var/log/cisco-acs.log" 2016-1-19-16:0:0
"/var/log/cisco-asa.log" 2016-1-19-16:0:0
"/var/log/cisco-router.log" 2016-9-6-0:1:1
"/var/log/cisco-ips.log" 2016-1-19-16:0:0
..but no cisco-meraki.log
From logrotate man page:
-d, --debug
Turns on debug mode and implies -v. In debug mode, no
changes will be made to the logs or to the logrotate
state file.
I was hit with exactly the same issue !
