Hi,
i would like to logrotate system logs /var/log/* every day and delete 7 days older logs.
this is not happening in my linux machine. logs are getting rotated every day but 7 days older logs are not getting deleted.
could you please let me know what could be the issue.
logrotate.conf
--------
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
daily
# keep 7 days worth of backlogs
rotate 7
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# Rotate log if it is bigger than SIZE
#size=100M
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
/var/log/kern.log /var/log/debug /var/log/auth.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/messages /var/log/user.log /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/uucp.log /var/log/faillog /var/log/dmesg {
daily
create 0640 root logadm
postrotate
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
endscript
rotate 7
}
