 Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 3:07 pm Post subject: logrotate with subdirs included |
 |
|
what im looking for is logrotate to reach into subdirs and rotate files in there.
dir example:
/var/log/directory/1
/var/log/directory/2
/var/log/directory/3
inside each (1,2,3) there are the files where I want to rotate. I would just put those three lines in manually but there are about 2,000+ dirs that need rotating. this is what i would like to do in /etc/logrotate.d/conf
| Code: |
/var/log/directory/*/* {
sharedscripts
rotate 14
weekly
missingok
nocreate
compress
compressoptions -6
endscript
}
|
which would essentially look into all dirs within /var/log/directory. however, this does not work. so i tried a regex instead and logrotate does not like regex.
i am not going to replace the log system on this server, is there an alternative here or a way to make logrotate look into subdirs dynamically? |

I have no problems with this syntax, but i know the file names because they are weblogs:
/home/*/www/logs/*/access_log /home/*/www/logs/*/error_log
Perhaps this is possible for you because there are many directories, but not much files.
Even if it doesn't work in the moment: Be careful with * in the final directory, it rotates EVERY file even the old compressed ones
What do you want sharedskripts and endskripts to do? Please look into documentation again...your syntax seems wrong |
