Using wild cards is fine.
But be careful! Trailing wildcards will result in rotating
already-rotated files and an exponetially growing number of files in the
log directory. So rotating /var/log/*/* is a Very Bad Idea (tm).

logrotate.conf and wildcards
Hello,
I use syslog-ng on a centralized syslog server (RHEL4). All my hosts
get directories created under /var/log/hosts/servername. So for
example
/var/log/hosts/server1
messages
mail.log
debug
/var/log/hosts/server2
messages
debug
Of course as servers get added, new directories are dynamically
created. My question is, can I use wildcards in my logrotate.conf
file, to specify directories and files?
"/var/log/*/*" to rotate all files or at least "/var/log/*/messages"
Thanks
Shane
