logrotate Cookbook

Manages the logrotate package and provides a resource to manage application specific logrotate configuration.

Maintainers

This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs.

Requirements

Platforms

Should work on any platform that includes a 'logrotate' package and writes logrotate configuration to /etc/logrotate.d.

Tested on:

Ubuntu / Debian
CentOS
Amazon Linux
openSUSE Leap

Chef

Chef 12.5+

Resources

[logrotate_app](documentation/logrotate_app.md)
[logrotate_global](documentation/logrotate_global.md)
[logrotate_package](documentation/logrotate_package.md)

Usage

The package resource will ensure logrotate is always up to date by default.

To create application specific logrotate configs, use the logrotate_app resource. For example, to rotate logs for a tomcat application named myapp that writes its log file to /var/log/tomcat/myapp.log:

logrotate_app 'tomcat-myapp' do
  path      '/var/log/tomcat/myapp.log'
  frequency 'daily'
  rotate    30
  create    '644 root adm'
end

To rotate multiple logfile paths, specify the path as an array:

logrotate_app 'tomcat-myapp' do
  path      ['/var/log/tomcat/myapp.log', '/opt/local/tomcat/catalina.out']
  frequency 'daily'
  create    '644 root adm'
  rotate    7
end

To specify which logrotate options, specify the options as an array:

logrotate_app 'tomcat-myapp' do
  path      '/var/log/tomcat/myapp.log'
  options   ['missingok', 'delaycompress', 'notifempty']
  frequency 'daily'
  rotate    30
  create    '644 root adm'
end
