Logrotate / Crontab not working

[goncalo.3.ferreira]

Greetings,

Since the 23 oh January of 2022 that /var/log/ files stopped rotating.
Permissions are ok.

After doing cat cron* |grep logrotate we have
Jan 22 03:39:02 vnraidb01-m run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[42419]: starting logrotate
Jan 22 03:39:02 vnraidb01-m run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[42459]: finished logrotate
Jan 23 03:10:02 vnraidb01-m run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[59549]: starting logrotate
[root@vnraidb01-m log]#

So logrotate did not finish for some reason in the 23 of January.

May somebody help me please, since this is affecting all my project servers.

Thank you,

BR//

try to run it manually and see if you have any error

I cannot run it manually since i need to find the root cause of the issue first. If i run it manually, probably the logs on /var/log will be rotated with the date of today and i cannot do that due to agreements with the company with whom we are working with.

look at logrotate confs

backup log files then rotate

you are 8 months late...

You don't have much choice. All your log files will contain entries from the last time that logrotate ran successfully and unless you go through and split them (somehow!) into individual weeks/days/months there's only one file to be rotated.
