similar to: [Fwd: Re: dovecot logs to audit.log not to maillog]

Hello, I have a curious phenomenon. Dovecot logs normally to /var/log/maillog. If I restart my server, dovecot loggs to /var/log/audit/audit.log. If I restart dovecot, dovecot loggs to /var/log/maillog again. And I think, wenn logrotate is restarting, dovecot logs to audit.log. But I don't know why. Any Ideas? greetings Ralf

Hi, I want to create a new log /var/log/maillog for postfix each day and so i created a new logrotate config for the log and removed it from /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/maillog /var/log/maillog { daily rotate 31 start 1 compress create 0600 root postrotate /etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null endscript } After

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:

Ever since a recent power failure I have been getting a Logrotate error. My machine is on a UPS -- it shutdown cleanly, but I suspect that its BIOS/RTC battery is dead, since the machine came up thinking it was 1982 :-(. I reset the clock and everything is fine, *except* I had to delete Logrotate's state files (which had bad dates). But now Logrotate is raising the error: error: error

Hi, I'm trying to figure out which process is rotating my maillog every Sunday at 4:03 am. This happens on all of my centos 4 boxes. AFAICT, logrotate is not running. This is from a fairly minimal install, so I'm assuming this is a default process. --- [root at penguin ~]# ls -l /var/log/maill* -rw------- 1 root root 230603836 Sep 27 16:30 /var/log/maillog -rw------- 1 root

Maybe I'm missing something here but doesn't logrotate have the 'postrotate ... endscript' block for its configuration files where you can run any command you desire?

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

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.

Dear Friends, How I restart logrotate ? Because file /var/log/maillog doesn't rotate log. Thanks Adriano

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 ???????

Hello, I've got a Centos 5.4 box that is not rotating it's mail logs. I just found out about this, the file is considerably large. I've included my log rotation configs if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to them. Thanks. Dave. /etc/rsyslog.conf: # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.*

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?

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

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 needed to logrotate a fil named qmail-queue.log from qmail-scanner. So i've edit /etc/syslog.conf and changed it to: *.info;qmail-queue.none;auth.none;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages (...) # qmail-queue logs qmail-queue /var/spool/qscan/qmail-queue.log Also, i've edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and changed to /var/log/messages

Well, I'd rather to have dovecot log alone in one log file. My initial question is that user/group and file permissions to use??

centos6 in regards to /etc/logrotate.d/syslog the file is in charge of processing /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler If I wanted to make a specific setting just for maillog (since that file gets huge really quick) would I add 1- a new file /etc/logrotate.d/maillog with the parameters just like the other files 2- add parameters in the file it is
