Okay Lucas, I’m looking at my log directory: -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 1002231184 Jun 22 11:08 postgresql-2017-06-22_001050.log -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 1073742619 Jun 22 11:08 postgresql-2017-06-22_001045.log my log snippets: # These are only used if logging_collector is on: log_directory = '/var/log/postgresql/' log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log' log_file_mode = 0600 log_truncate_on_rotation = off log_rotation_age = 1h log_rotation_size = 1GB So which one is postgresql actually writing to right now? (no guessing, and the name might be a clue, but that is guessing IMHO)
