Role Variables

logrotate_conf_dir is the location you want these config files to be stored.

You'll want to build a dictionary for each logrotate config file. logrotate_files is the top level of the dictionary.

-- You can now add on the use of parent_logrotate_files as a means of centralizing your most-used logrotate configs. As in ones that ALL of your hosts use across the board --

name is the name of the config file path is the specific log files path options is a list of the options within the file scripts is not a required part, but if you want to include prerotate or postrotate scripts, simply see the example below. The template will auto-fill the endscript line for you.

parent_logrotate_files:
  - name: apt
    path:
      - /var/log/apt/history.log
      - /var/log/apt/term.log
    options:
      - monthly
      - 'rotate 12'
      - compress
      - missingok
      - notifempty
      - 'create 0664 root admin'

logrotate_files:
  - name: bind9
    path:
      - /var/log/bind/*
    options:
      - daily
      - 'rotate 7'
      - compress
      - delaycompress
      - notifempty
      - missingok
      - shred
      - sharedscripts
    scripts:
      postrotate: '/etc/init.d/bind9 reload >/dev/null'
