Hi, I'm sorry this is really a logrotate question but I don't think there is a logrotate mailing list :) Besides, this is for apache logs and I bet someone here knows the answer! I'm running a very high volume website and I'd like to rotate the logs daily so that I can compress them (.bz2) but all logrotate configurations I've seen only keep so many old logs. I'd like to keep the old logs forever. Afterall, I managed to compress 14.5GB of logs down to 555MB with bzip2. Is there a simple way to do this? I know if I set rotate to 0 that's going to keep 0 old logs. What if I just omit the rotate directive in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 altogether? Any other ideas? I'd rather not just set rotate to a really huge number but I will if it comes down to it. I'm running an up to date Debian Etch system with apache 2.2.3-4 and logrotate 3.7.1-3.
---------------- End original message. --------------------- Think outside of Apache.Write a script in the language of your choice to do the log compression and move the log files to an archive directory of your choice.
Run that script as a cron job that happens shortly after the logs are rotated.
