Hey guys, I'm trying to rotate a logstash log that can grow pretty large. 3.4GB last I saw! And that's because the logrotate script I came up with didn't work. The error I get on a syntax check is this: #logrotate -f logstash size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file And this is the logstash rotate script: #cat /etc/logrotate.d/logstash /var/log/logstash/* { daily rotate 7 copytruncate compress delaycompress missingok notifempty postrotate size 100M /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/logstash.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } I can't find the error there. Can I have a suggestion as to what's wrong and how to correct it?
Multiple errors here, first hint: "man 8 logrotate" is a good start. Second: wrong order of lines: diff -U2 [code] --- your logstash-rotate +++ corrected logstash-rotate @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ missingok notifempty - postrotate size 100M + sharedscripts + postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/logstash.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript [/code] In short: "postrotate" line is in wrong position, add line "sharedscripts" - Yamaban. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
