Something new here has cropped up, no changes to configs for some time.
I've had my dovecot using the default /var/log/dovecot.log location for
logging, logrotate used to back this up weekly and logging would
continue using this same file. Now when logrotate runs, it correctly
backs up the log but then creates a new dovecot.log-yyyymmdd file and
dovecot starts logging to that. I'm at a loss as to why this is
happening. My postfix and other processes are still using their correct
log files, so it seems related only to dovecot.
From dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf:
# Log file to use for error messages. "syslog" logs to syslog,
# /dev/stderr logs to stderr.
#log_path = syslog
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
From /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot
/var/log/dovecot.log {
weekly
rotate 4
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
sharedscripts
postrotate
doveadm log reopen
endscript
}
Looks like something happened mid last month but other than periodic
software updates nothing has changed for a while here. If I reboot the
system, dovecot resumes logging to /var/log/dovecot.log, but as soon as
logrotate runs (I did a --force to test) it logs to the new file again.
Hoping this may sound familiar to someone on the list.
