The lines log_rotation_age and log_rotation_size are commented, and currently are:

I see from your reference article that the log_rotation_age is now in minutes, and I will adjust that to 1440 (1 day). I don’t know where the “1d” came from. I know it used to be like this in earlier versions.

 

 

​Those are fine:  See "Numeric with Unit" @​

​I think the actual missing, and (just checked) defaulted off, parameter is "logging_collector"

I have (copy/paste) :

log_destination = 'stderr'                             # Valid values are combinations of

                                                                                # stderr, csvlog, syslog, and eventlog,

                                                                                # depending on platform.  csvlog

                                                                                # requires logging_collector to be on.

 

# This is used when logging to stderr:

logging_collector = on                    # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog

                                                                                # into log files. Required to be on for

                                                                                # csvlogs.

                                                                                # (change requires restart)
