Ok, thank you, it works. 1) /etc/logrotate.d/my_app should be 644 mode and owner must be root 2) I added 'su <files owner> <files group ownership>' on the top of the body of the logrotate file 3) /usr/sbin/logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/my_app and /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/my_app help to debug
