我在使用Logrotate的时候遇到了一个问题，那就是我的一台Amazon Linux机器上没有日志logging。 此框使用rsyslog并从其他设备接收日志。 正如这样一个通配符规则被使用，我认为这是问题，但删除它并没有帮助。 我已经尝试使用logrotate -fv强制旋转，但是当它说日志应该旋转时，日志的dateext存档不会在/ var / log中创build。 奇怪的是，这个工作一直持续到七月份，由于当时做了一些改变，停止了工作。 这里是rsyslog文件的logrotateconfiguration（/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog）：
/var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/system-*.log{ compress notifempty daily sharedscripts postrotate service rsyslog restart >/dev/null 2>&1 || true endscript } 这里是logrotate -fv命令的输出：

它声称日志需要旋转，强制应该这样做，但运行后，我只有以下文件在/ var / log（注意在7月24日之前适当的旋转日志）：
-rw------- 1 root root 385 Jul 21 03:13 secure-20160720.gz -rw------- 1 root root 303 Jul 22 03:35 secure-20160721.gz -rw------- 1 root root 908 Jul 22 03:35 cron-20160721.gz -rw------- 1 root root 896 Jul 23 03:31 cron-20160722.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jul 23 19:45 mail -rw------- 1 root root 329 Jul 24 03:17 secure-20160722.gz -rw------- 1 root root 884 Jul 24 03:17 cron-20160723.gz -rw------- 1 root root 2.5K Aug 17 21:25 yum.log-20160916 -rw------- 1 root root 218 Aug 30 03:25 maillog-20160707.gz -rw------- 1 root root 4.0K Sep 15 04:33 maillog -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 66K Sep 15 23:20 wtmp-20160916 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Sep 16 00:16 dracut.log -rw------- 1 root root 0 Sep 16 00:16 yum.log drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 36K Sep 16 03:21 . -rw------- 1 root root 307K Sep 16 04:01 cron -rw------- 1 root root 32K Sep 16 04:09 secure -rw------- 1 root root 3.9G Sep 16 04:09 boot.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 4.2K Sep 16 17:48 wtmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144K Sep 16 17:48 lastlog -rw------- 1 root root 11K Sep 16 18:01 system-usawsnet01.log -rw------- 1 root root 141M Sep 16 18:14 system-10.50.10.1.log -rw------- 1 root root 5.2G Sep 16 18:14 system-10.0.1.5.log -rw------- 1 root root 5.8G Sep 16 18:14 system-10.70.10.1.log -rw------- 1 root root 5.2G Sep 16 18:14 system-10.10.200.1.log
最后，这里是基本的logrotateconfiguration文件，以防万一：
# see "man logrotate" for details # rotate log files weekly weekly # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 4 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # use date as a suffix of the rotated file dateext # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed #compress # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory include /etc/logrotate.d # no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly create 0664 root utmp minsize 1M rotate 1 } /var/log/btmp { missingok monthly create 0600 root utmp rotate 1 } # system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
我尝试删除通配符，我已经删除/var/lib/logrotate.status重新开始，但似乎没有触发这些日志的旋转。
