I changed rotate to 4 but the dates are 3-4 days apart, not sequential. Your log files are extremely small. At only a few hundred bytes every 3 or 4 days it is very likely that nothing is logged on most days. If your log file is empty, logrotate won't rotate it if the option "notifempty" is set (which is probably the case). hp -- _ | Peter J.

You’ll likely find that other logs in your system follow a similar pattern, not just Postgresql. Stephen, Other logs, controlled by logrotate, rotate daily for a maximum of 4 backups. I just checked /etc/logrotate.d/postgres and it was set at daily with rotate 7. I changed rotate to 4 but the dates are 3-4 days apart, not sequential. Thanks, Rich
