Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Log rotate not working
You can check whether logrotate sees/understands the asterisk's file in /etc/logrotate.d volume by looking through /var/log/logstatus You should see names of the files you plan to rotate Actually you should do logrotate -s /var/log/logstatus /etc/logrotate.conf to see these files hope this helps Dmitry Pavlenko From: Tzafrir Cohen tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 11:25 AM Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Log rotate not working On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 02:54:46PM -0400, Ahmed Munir wrote: Jim, Cron and Logrotate already installed in my machine and already configured as the steps you enlisted.

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Log rotate not working
Hi,
Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis
which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate
feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in 'messages'
file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below;
/var/log/asterisk/messages {
missingok
rotate 5
daily
postrotate
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' /dev/null 2 /dev/null
endscript
}
As asterisk is running by user: root so no need set asterisk permissions
'create 0640 asterisk asterisk' in above configuration.
Please advise so I can resolve this issue.

I believe you want to execute logger rotate, rather than logger reload.

It is indeed 'logger reload'. logrotate handles the rotation. All it
needs is that Asterisk will re-open the log file to use the new files
after the old ones were moved.
