Hi! I was configuring some routers to log onto my LM box. That was ok, thanks to Pierre Fortin. Then I realized that my logs weren´t being rotated... so was being overwhelmed by the file sizes... I read how to configure logrotate to do this and now it works too... but the rotated files aren't being compressed... in the last lines of /etc/logrotate.conf I did: ... # system-specific logs may be configured here # rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01 errors root compress /var/log/cisco/7513-1 { weekly create 0644 root root rotate 24 } and I tried also: # system-specific logs may be configured here # rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01 errors root /var/log/cisco/7513-1 { weekly compress create 0644 root root rotate 24 } and tried: # system-specific logs may be configured here # rotacao dos logs do C7513FSPO01 errors root /var/log/cisco/7513-1 { weekly create 0644 root root compress rotate 24 } so... what is going on??? I know that is the correct file since any router that I include is logged and rotated... but I don't understand why the rotated files aren't compressed... no error message is displayed or logged... any ideas???
