The "-k rotate" tells Squid to open and start writing to the new log
files created by logrotate tool.
That "-k reconfigure" you have chosen is a far more complicated and slow
operation. It is not guaranteed to change the files Squid is writing to.
PS. you also need to configure "logfile_rotate 0" for self-built Squid
to prevent it doing any log file renumbering when logrotated is used.

Re: [squid-users] Logrotate question
just a question, im just playing with logrotate
/usr/local/squid/var/logs/*.log {
monthly
rotate 4
compress
delaycompress
missingok
dateext
dateformat -%d%m%Y
su root root
postrotate
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k reconfigure
endscript
}
why is the "squid -k rotate" listed under "postrotate" as logrotate is
handling it

Re: [squid-users] Logrotate question
So just create the file I sent you before or extract the file from the squid
RPM using “rpm2cpio squid…rpm |cpio -dimv” in some tmp dir.
You will just need to copy the file into the proper location, disable the cron
you have created and if the squid binary is in a specific different folder
change the path of the squid binary in the squid logrotate file accordingly.

in fact, it does not.
I guess you are supposed to keep 3 months of logs, which mean, you always
need to have 3 months of logs available.
Each day, you can delete log files over 3 months old.
If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3
months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when
first logs would be 6 months old.
As we already told you, rotate daily and remove old logs after 92 days.
and use logrotate config.

Re: [squid-users] Logrotate question
Since this one is from yum install it’s very simple to just change the config
files of squid and logrotate.
If you need more assistance let me know.

So you need to change the rotate to 92+ and also change the squid number of

in fact, it does not.
I guess you are supposed to keep 3 months of logs, which mean, you always
need to have 3 months of logs available.
Each day, you can delete log files over 3 months old.
If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3
months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when
first logs would be 6 months old.
As we already told you, rotate daily and remove old logs after 92 days.
and use logrotate config.

Consider June, July and August: June has 30 days July has 31 days August has 31 days So, on September 1st, June 1st is 92 days ago, and you can delete the logs for May 31st, which are older than 92 days. If you deleted older than 91 days, you would be deleting June 1st on September 1st, and one day this might be significant to someone.

If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3 months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when first logs would be 6 months old.

Re: [squid-users] Logrotate question
Hey Rob, First there is a difference between rotation and deletion. If it’s not a loaded system then 3 month is ok but… in most use cases it’s better to rotate every day but to delete after 3 month. You have the choice to compress the files or to leave them in plain text but it’s only a choice of resources preservation.

Here's the standard logrotate file for Squid3 which is installed on Debian (I
doubt that CentOS should be significantly different):
-
/var/log/squid/*.log {
daily
compress
delaycompress
rotate 2
missingok
nocreate
sharedscripts
prerotate
test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports
daily
endscript
postrotate
test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid ||
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
endscript
}
-
I suggest modifying this for your needs to:
-
/var/log/squid/*.log {
monthly
rotate 4
missingok
nocreate
sharedscripts
prerotate
test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports
daily
endscript
postrotate
test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid ||
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
endscript
}
-

Antony.

Do you really mean you "need to keep logs for every 3 months"? Or do you mean that you need to keep "the most recent 3 months' logs"? I would recommend that you rotate every month, and keep 4 months' logs. Firstly, there's no point in letting indivdual log files grow too large, and secondly, you then know that at all times you have the current month's logs, plus the previous 3 months, until the fourth one gets deleted by logrotate.
