Config de la rotation stockée dans /etc/logrotate.d/mon-journal-a-rotater
De cette forme :
/path/to/my/logfile {
monthly # can be daily, weekly
rotate 12 # keep 12 history files
compress # gzip the old logs
delaycompress # gzip old logs except the more recent one
missingok # does not stop if a file is missing
notifempty # does not rotate if file is empty
create 644 root root # permissions, user and group for the newly created file
}
Force rotation :
logrotate -fv /etc/logrotate.d/mon-journal-a-rotater (force, and verbose)
On peut spécifier directement le fichier de configuration général, /etc/logrotate.conf, qui inclue tout ce qui se trouve dans /etc/logrotate.d/ si on veut rotater l’ensemble des logs.
