Code: Select all

/your_path/to/domoticz.log {
#replace the above path with the path to your domoticz logfile
        su (your_domoticz_logfile_user) (your_domoticz_logfile_group)
	#replace the above user and group with the ones who own the logfile (use ls -la on the logfile)
        missingok

        daily
        rotate 7
        size 1M
        compress
        copytruncate
}

In my case:
* domoticz is running non root, as its own user and group
* the log file is in a dir located on a RAM backed mount (/tmp)
* this dir and the the log file are owned by the the domoticz user and group

jake wrote:I still don't get logrotate to work automatically since my upgrade to Buster. Running manually: fine, running automatically: not.

I added the same command line to the root crontab, but it doesn't want to run.

I checked permissions, but both /tmp /tmp/log and /tmp/log/domoticz.log are owned by root. It is very frustrating not finding the root cause of failure of the automaic process. All help still very much appreciated!

/tmp/log/domoticz.log
{
        # su root root
        missingok
        maxsize 7M
        daily
        copytruncate
        # keep 2 days worth of backlogs
        rotate 2
        compress
        # delaycompress
        notifempty
        postrotate
        #        if [ -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ]; then \

        #                /etc/init.d/domoticz restart > /dev/null; \

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /tmp/log/domoticz.log

For now I put the " sudo logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.d/domoticz" in crontab.

Does the crontab option work for you? For me it doesn't work either.

Good news! It works on my side. Last night, or rather this morning a new file was created. I did change a few things in the script:

/tmp/domoticz.txt{
su root root
missingok
maxsize 7M
daily
copytruncate
# keep 2 days worth of backlogs
rotate 2
compress
# delaycompress
notifempty
postrotate
# if [ -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ]; then \
# invoke-rc.d domoticz restart > /dev/null; \
# else \
# /etc/init.d/domoticz restart > /dev/null; \
# fi
endscript
}

In crontab:
10 0 * * * sudo logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.d/domoticz

EDIT: I also set up an test Raspberry without the crontab command, and it does work. I wonder why it does work on the test and not on my production PI. If I figured it out, I'll let you know.
