Public bug reported: Logrotate supports "hourly rotation, however the Ubuntu logrotate systemd Timer runs "daily" - so "hourly" logrotate jobs are still only run daily.
Updating /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer: ... [Timer] OnCalendar=hourly ... should allow "logrotate hourly" to work as expected. See related comment at https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/249#issuecomment-485829363 "The tricky part is that one needs to change the default cron hook (or systemd timer) to make hourly actually work as expected."
