Hi,

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

Again, thanks for your assistance with this. It is much appreciated!

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

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!
