Package: logrotate
Version: 3.8.7-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
logrotate does not seem to process %V (week number), when added in dateext.
See the following output:
-----------
rotating pattern: /var/log/nginx/*.log forced from command line (52 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/nginx/access.log
log needs rotating
considering log /var/log/nginx/error.log
log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/nginx/access.log, log->rotateCount is 52
Converted ' _%Y_%V' -> '_%Y_%%V'
dateext suffix '_2018_%V'
glob pattern '_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_%V'
compressing log with: /usr/bin/lzop
destination /var/log/nginx/access.log_2018_%V already exists, skipping rotation
rotating log /var/log/nginx/error.log, log->rotateCount is 52
Converted ' _%Y_%V' -> '_%Y_%%V'
dateext suffix '_2018_%V'
glob pattern '_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_%V'
compressing log with: /usr/bin/lzop
destination /var/log/nginx/error.log_2018_%V already exists, skipping rotation
-----------
Logroate for nginx is configured as follows (vim /etc/logrotate.d/nginx)
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
create 0640 www-data adm
sharedscripts
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
fi \
endscript
postrotate
invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
endscript
dateext
dateformat _%Y_%V
compresscmd /usr/bin/lzop
compressoptions -U -9
compressext .lzo
}
I was expecting logrotate to be able interpret any dateformats, which are
specified in man date - in this case the weeknumber.
