Hi,

Yep, I ran it as me, not sudo. I ran the logrotate again in debug mode as sudo. Here is the debug output.

Code: Select all

Re: Disk space and permissions issues

Post by dchurch »

Okay, seems to have fixed it to actually run the log rotation on the affected logs whenever logrotate is run (instead of skipping due to permissions).

One test you can do is overfill the log, then wait a day for it to rotate over:

Code: Select all

yes 'test log line' | head -2000000 >> /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/sysstat.log
If you didn't get an 8% raise over the course of the pandemic, you took a pay cut.

Discussion of wages is protected speech under the National Labor Relations Act, and no employer can tell you you can't disclose your pay with your fellow employees.

Hi,

We have success! All the logs that should be rotating are now rotating.

Thank you very much for your assistance with this, it is much appreciated!
