How to include maxage parameter in logrotate file ?
GuptaArpit07 opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I have the logrotate cookbook which I have used in my deploy recipe to include the logrotation of log files.
Below is the blog from my file for creating the logrotate file for app logs.
logrotate_app 'app' do path ["#{node['deploy']['logdir']}/#{node['deploy']['nodejs']['application_name']}/app*log"] size '5M' frequency 'daily' rotate 5 options ['missingok', 'delaycompress', 'notifempty', 'sharedscripts', 'copytruncate'] create "664 #{node['deploy']['user']} root" end
Can you please help me in including the maxage parameter with correct syntax as I am unable to do so?
I tried adding as : -
maxage 60
maxage=>60
But the file is not getting updated after running the chef-client on the server due to some syntax mismatch.
Thanks
Hi,
maxage 60
or
maxage "60"
should work. Can you share the error message you are getting when trying to use that option?
There is no such error I am getting. But when I include the above value in the cookbook and upload it.
I run chef-client to apply the changes but the logrotate file present on the server is not getting updated with the maxage value.
If you can provide debug output from the chef-client run that would be helpful. Otherwise, I can try to reproduce it locally but not until this weekend most likely.
