similar to: logrotate /var/log/maillog

I got the fail2ban from epel. There were a number of issues relating to using a log file... logwatch was looking for both fail2ban and fail2ban.log logrotate file fail2ban added looked for fail2ban.log and then reset itself to syslog fail2ban itself went to syslog, over riding its fail2ban.log. took a while, but I use /var/log/fail2ban now, that finally worked through logrotates and logwatch.

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

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

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

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

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?

I get regularily such a mail <mail> Anacron job 'cron.daily' on .... /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/clamd.clamsmtp/clamsmtpd.log of '/var/log/clamd.clamsmtp/clamsmtpd.log ' </mail> content of /etc/logrotate.d/clamsmtp /var/log/clamd.clamsmtp/clamsmtpd.log { monthly notifempty missingok

Anyone having problems with logrotate and CentOS 5.4? Although I have /etc/logrotate.d/mail (contents below) to rotate my maillog file, it fails to do it automatically: /var/log/maillog { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 60 size=+1024k missingok postrotate /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart endscript } ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ logrotate.conf:

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 {

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

Hello! I having a problem with the permissions of some of my logfiles. It seems that when the files are rotated, the user/group is root root and the permissions are rw for root only. more info hereunder: The strange thing is that sometimes it works for one file... /var/log/cisco_acl.log /var/log/cisco_debug.log { rotate 1 notifempty #daily size 1k create 0640 root noc

Thank you.

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:

Hi, Your crontab should normally mail you error output. But you can also run the logrotate command manually, in verbose mode.

I'm noticing that logrotate's default configuration for rotating /var/ log/secure and /var/log/messages partially fails if root's shell is set to /bin/tcsh (via chsh). (Running on CentOS 4.4; logrotate-3.7.1-5.RHEL4). What seems to be happening is that the logrotate.d/syslog postrotate command runs: /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null

HI, Do you have selinux activated? Maybe the context for logrotate does not allow accessing files under /home, and the root cli is not troubled by such a limitation? Why are you storing log files under /home anyway? Note: I don't use any OS with selinux, so can't really help with fixing this an issue.

Hi all, i have problem, after uprade CentOS 5.5 to 5.6, Logrotate don't work on two proxy servers. I have installed : squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5 logrotate-3.7.4-9.el5_5.2 On first server , squid logs never rotated, config is here cat /etc/logrotate.d/squid /var/log/squid/access.log { weekly rotate 5 copytruncate compress notifempty missingok } /var/log/squid/cache.log

I believe you need a 'create' statement to set the permissions. Here is an example for mariadb: /var/log/mariadb/general.log /var/log/mariadb/slow_query.log /var/log/mariadb/error.log /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log { ??????? create 640 mysql mysql ??????? daily ??????? minsize 30M ??????? notifempty ??????? rotate 3 ??????? missingok ??????? compress ??????? sharedscripts ???????
