similar to: Sort logfiles at rotation time

I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions: 1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable? Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn?t be located in

That doesn?t seem to work either. Where do I find logs for log rotation to see the reason it failed?

So, the question is, why can I rotate the log manually, but cron returns a permission error? Do I need to tell cron to run it as sudo or something like that?

Hi! I have one problem with my logrotate. Samba version: Samba 4 7.7 (compilated) S.O.: Ubuntu 14.04 /16.04 Samba logs file: /opt/samba/var/ Logrotate File: cat /etc/logrotate.d/samba -- /opt/samba/var/log.samba {   rotate 10         daily         compress         dateext         size 100M         nomail         missingok         notifempty         create 644 root root

I know about this param, I configured it and log.smbd, log.nmbd and others are rotated, log.samba is not. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > To: "Lorenzo Milesi" <maxxer at yetopen.it>, "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2020 7:29:04 PM > Subject: Re: [Samba] log.samba

This may have already been addressed, and I apologize if it has, but here is my issue. I have separated the TINCD log from syslog to isolate the VPN activity. By starting with daemon with the --logfile= switch It seems to work fine except that once log rotation takes place, the daemon does not recreate the log, nor will it write to the new log even if an empty file is put into place. The only

Can you try this and adjust the path's in it. #/etc/logrotate.d/samba /var/log/samba/log.smbd { weekly missingok rotate 7 postrotate [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config endscript compress delaycompress notifempty } /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {

When logs (e.g. /var/log/maillog) are rotated (e.g. to /var/log/maillog-YYYYMDD) is there a way via systemd or whatever to assign read permission to a specific group? Right now, for example - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw------- 1 root root 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw------- 1

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

Hey guys, I'm trying to rotate a logstash log that can grow pretty large. 3.4GB last I saw! And that's because the logrotate script I came up with didn't work. The error I get on a syntax check is this: #logrotate -f logstash size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size:

Hello guys Having headaches here how to make logrotation for dovecot log files work. Having permission issues: michael.heuberger at xxx /e/l/daily ??? sudo logrotate -fv dovecot.daily ? reading config file dovecot.daily Handling 1 logs rotating

Hello list. This is not a life-threatening question, but still quite important for debugging. I have the following crontab : 15 0,8,12,17 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger rotate' Because I have debug level 9, logfiles get quite large. I notice that the rotation of the logfiles goes to plan, except at 17h15. I currently have : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59024 Dec 2 09:36

Hi everyone again. I run tinc with the following command: /usr/sbin/tincd -d1 --logfile=/var/log/tinc.log That creates the file "/var/log/tinc.log" correctly and reports into it. Well, because I want to have a log file by day, I have created a logrotate file (/etc/logrotate.d/tinc) that contains the following lines: ----------------------------------------- /var/log/tinc.log {

? Hi people. ? I had read dovecot logging info, they say something about using log rotation to help us rotate our log, with this setup: # dovecot SIGUSR1: Re-opens the log files. /var/log/dovecot*.log { missingok notifempty delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } Well, my

2.0.5 (on linux) has a small annoyance in that, when the log files get rotated, kill -HUP won't point the daemons to the new log files. They keeps logging to the old ones until they are stopped/started. Does 2.0.6 fix this?

I've just updated a few CentOS 5.3 servers to 5.4. One of them were a Apache Webserver. Doing a diff/check on the new ".rpmnew" config files that are made, I saw that the logrotate command for apache was changed. In 5.3 it did a reload, but in 5.4 it does a hard kill: CentOS 5.3: /var/log/httpd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate

Thank you.

Hi there This is weird. On my latest Ubuntu server Dovecot seems to write to /var/log/dovecot.log.1 instead of a recently created /var/log/dovecot.log Here my logrotate config for Dovecot: /var/log/dovecot.log { ??????? su root syslog ??????? rotate 7 ??????? missingok ??????? copytruncate ??????? create 666 root syslog ??????? sharedscripts ??????? postrotate ??????????? doveadm log

Well, I tried the same but it didn't work. Setting my dovecot.log to 600 with root:root is breaking my mail system. I am then unable to receive and open emails. Had to apply an ugly hack /var/log/dovecot*.log { su syslog syslog create 666 syslog syslog rotate 10 ... } Like that anyone who wants to access/write to it, can do it and all works. That's my
