I am having problems with logrotate. The configuration is the following
/var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler /var/log/unused.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/daemon.log { #Modified by CGSL! compress dateext maxage 90 rotate 100 missingok notifempty size +4096k create 640 root root sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript }
I am interested in rotating the /var/log/daemon.log, the output of executing
logrotate -fv /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
is
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog reading config info for /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler /var/log/unused.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/daemon.log Handling 1 logs rotating pattern: /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler /var/log/unused.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/daemon.log forced from command line (100 rotations) empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/cron log needs rotating considering log /var/log/maillog log needs rotating considering log /var/log/messages log needs rotating considering log /var/log/secure log needs rotating considering log /var/log/spooler log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/unused.log log needs rotating considering log /var/log/kern.log log needs rotating considering log /var/log/daemon.log log needs rotating rotating log /var/log/cron, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' rotating log /var/log/maillog, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' rotating log /var/log/messages, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' destination /var/log/messages-20190411.gz already exists, skipping rotation rotating log /var/log/secure, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' rotating log /var/log/unused.log, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' rotating log /var/log/kern.log, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' glob finding old rotated logs failed rotating log /var/log/daemon.log, log->rotateCount is 100 dateext suffix '-20190411' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' glob finding old rotated logs failed set default create context
What does this error mean?
glob finding old rotated logs failed
