[Solved] Compress the logs files every day

Added by matdakillah over 14 years ago

Hi,

I've changed the access_log module to do the rotate log but now
I want to compress the log files everyday but I don't know how to do that...
If someone can eventually help me.

Thx.

Here an example for possible configuration of the logrotate. You can make the compression in the postrotate phase :

/opt/lighttpd/logs/access.log /opt/lighttpd/logs/error.log {
     rotate 10
     size 800k
     copytruncate
     notifempty
     sharedscripts

     postrotate
      /usr/bin/killall -HUP lighttpd
      HOST_NAME=`uname -n`
      DATE=`date +%Y%m%d-%H:%M`;

      if [ -f /opt/lighttpd/logs/access.log.1 ]; then
          mv /opt/lighttpd/logs/access.log.1 /opt/lighttpd/logs/access-$DATE && gzip -f /opt/lighttpd/logs/access-$DATE
         chown sasho:sasho /opt/lighttpd/logs/access-$DATE.gz
         chmod 664 /opt/lighttpd/logs/access-$DATE.gz
      fi

      if [ -f /opt/lighttpd/logs/error.log.1 ]; then
        mv /opt/lighttpd/logs/error.log.1 /opt/lighttpd/logs/error-$DATE && gzip -f /opt/lighttpd/logs/error-$DATE
        chmod sasho:sasho /opt/lighttpd/logs/error-$DATE.gz
        chown 664 /opt/lighttpd/logs/error-$DATE.gz
      fi

     endscript
}
