Matthew,
I do indeed have that file on my Qube 3. So I assume if I take out the "weekly" under the rotate logfiles weekly that would do it ? Or can I change it to "monthly" ? And does this change take affect when the file is saved ?
The weekly line indicates how often to rotate. I would leave it alone.
Here is how it shows:
# rotate log files weekly weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 4
This is all I changed on mine, the amount of backlogs. Since I have plenty disk space and a lightly loaded server, I just put in
rotate 9999
I also have compression enabled, I don't recall if that was on by default or not. I know one thing for sure, on a RaQ4 I once maintained, /var was a separate small partition. You can cause major problems if the Qube uses this scheme, and /var fills up with logs.
From the command line execute
df -h
to see how your disk usage is right now. If you increase the backlog rate at all, keep a close eye on disk usage over the coming months to make sure it doesn't fill up. I have logwatch installed and I get a daily report on disk usage.
Thanks !
Chuck

If you are familiar with the command line interface, see if you have a file /etc/logrotate.conf (RaQ 550 does). It will make sense when you read the file. I changed mine to effectively never remove logs. I keep them all, and occasionally export them and burn them to a cd.
