linux – Logrotate不会删除旧日志

由于某种原因,旧的日志文件不会被删除.用apache的例子

conf文件说的是什么：

$cat /etc/logrotate.d/apache2
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
    weekly
    missingok
    rotate 2
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    create 640 root adm
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
            /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null
    endscript
}

日志文件夹的(裁剪)内容：

# ls /var/log/apache2/
access.log       error.log.26.gz                other_vhosts_access.log.20.gz  access-ssl.log.14.gz
access.log.1     error.log.27.gz                other_vhosts_access.log.21.gz  access-ssl.log.15.gz
access.log.2.gz  error.log.28.gz                other_vhosts_access.log.22.gz  access-ssl.log.16.gz
access.log.3.gz  error.log.2.gz                 other_vhosts_access.log.23.gz  access-ssl.log.17.gz
[...]

实际上有很多：

# ls /var/log/apache2/ | wc -l
85

使用–verbose的logrotate命令给了我：

# /usr/sbin/logrotate --verbose  /etc/logrotate.conf
[...]
reading config file apache2
reading config info for /var/log/apache2/*.log
[...]
rotating pattern: /var/log/apache2/*.log  weekly (2 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated,old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/apache2/access.log
  log does not need rotating
considering log /var/log/apache2/error.log
  log does not need rotating
considering log /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log
  log does not need rotating
considering log /var/log/apache2/pbpdhg-ssl.log
  log does not need rotating
not running postrotate script,since no logs were rotated
[...]

这有什么不对？
日志是否已旋转但未被删除？
我错过了什么？

解决方法

你的配置说：旋转2

这意味着日志文件在被删除之前会被旋转2次,因此logrotate只关注2个文件.

我的猜测是配置在某些时候发生了变化,因为以前保存了更多的日志文件,也许就像旋转28.这些旧文件你必须手动删除.
