Package: mosquitto
Version: 1.5.7-1+deb10u1
Followup-For: Bug #960489
Dear Maintainer,
I'm also seeing this message, nearly every night I think.
I'm running stable (Buster) but I've picked up the change to use invoke-rc.d
instead of killall from #940229 but that hasn't helped, I think this means I'm
effectively using the same logrotate config as testing/unstable.
My guess is that the "postrotate" hook is not being called until after the
compression, so mosquitto.log.1 is still the live logfile at that point. This
seems a bit odd too me as I can't find any option to run a script between the
rotate and compress which seems like the sort of thing many daemons would need.
Looking at the logrotate man page I think the right answer is to use the
"delaycompress" option:
> Postpone compression of the previous log file to the next rotation cycle.
> This only has effect when used in combination with compress. It can be
> used when some program cannot be told to close its logfile and thus might
> continue writing to the previous log file for some time.
IOW do not compress mosquitto.log.1 but instead defer until it becomes
mosquitto.log.2 tomorrow. I've deployed this locally but I won't know until a
few days time if it has worked.
HTH,
Ian.
