[CentOS] Logrotate errors
Hi all,
I have a problem with logrotate and I don't know why. In
/var/log/messages appears these errors:
Apr 8 15:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 16:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 17:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 18:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 19:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 20:01:02 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 21:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 22:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
Apr 8 23:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1]
It seems the problem if with this logrotate.conf (executed every hour):
create
dateext
/srv/www2/logs/viewer.log {
size 512k
create 0640 www www
missingok
rotate 7
compress
delaycompress
copytruncate
notifempty
}
Doing a debug:
[root@www02 ~]# logrotate /data/config/etc/logrotate.conf -dv
reading config file /data/config/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config info for /nsm/moloch/logs/viewer.log
Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log 524288 bytes (7 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log
log needs rotating
rotating log /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log, log->rotateCount is 7
dateext suffix '-20140409'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
glob finding logs to compress failed
destination /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log-20140409 already exists, skipping rotation
According to this kb from redhat's website:
https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/39006
problem could be selinux. But SElinux is disabled:
[root@www02 ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
[root@www02 ~]#
Any idea?? Could be a bug??
Host is a CentOS 6.5 x86_64 fully patched.
Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors
From: C. L. Martinez > destination /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log-20140409 already exists, skipping > rotation I'd think logrotate does not expect to find an already existing "half-rotated" file? Maybe this file is supposed to be compressed '.gz'? Can you show "ls -l /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log*" ? JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors
Logrotate, by default, runs daily (not hourly) and renames the log files
that it rotates by appending to them the current date. In your case, you
are running it hourly, so it only runs successfully only once a day. The
second time that it will attempt to run in the same day, it will find that
there already exists a rotated file with the appended date for that same
day, and fail.
So, either run it daily, or change the renaming scheme.

Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors
http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/logrotate/tags/r3-8-5/logrotate.8
shows "hourly" as a .conf option was added to 3.8.5...
current centos 6 version is logrotate-3.7.8-17.el6.x86_64
centos6$ man logrotate:
dateformat format_string
Specify the extension for dateext using the notation similar
to
strftime(3) function. Only %Y %m %d and %s specifiers
are
allowed.
in your .conf try:
dateformat -%s

Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors
Yep, Marios and Steven are right ... I have changed dateformat for one
log file and I have done another test changing time rotations ... And
all works ok.
Many thanks for your help.
