Re: Logrotate question

Oops,

 

The next is the file: /etc/logrotate.d/squid

##START

/var/log/squid/*.log {

    weekly

    rotate 5

    compress

    notifempty

    missingok

    nocreate

    sharedscripts

    postrotate

      # Asks squid to reopen its logs. (logfile_rotate 0 is set in squid.conf)

      # errors redirected to make it silent if squid is not running

      /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate 2>/dev/null

      # Wait a little to allow Squid to catch up before the logs is compressed

      sleep 1

    endscript

}

##END

 

So you need to change the rotate to 92+ and also change the squid number of logs to the same number.

 

Let me know if you it’s helpful.

in fact, it does not.

I guess you are supposed to keep 3 months of logs, which mean, you always
need to have 3 months of logs available.

Each day, you can delete log files over 3 months old.

If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3
months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when
first logs would be 6 months old.

As we already told you, rotate daily and remove old logs after 92 days.
and use logrotate config.
