this exchange caught my attention:

That was Michael, responding to user markm9999's question.
The answer surprised me, because I was certain that I had seen five
previous scanner logs gzipped in the same directory, the same as with
the server logs. And I was right:
Code:
--------------------
42500 Sep 30 04:29 scanner.log
94319 Apr 14 2021 scanner.log.1.gz
94267 Apr 13 2021 scanner.log.2.gz
94031 Apr 12 2021 scanner.log.3.gz
94085 Apr 11 2021 scanner.log.4.gz
93993 Apr 10 2021 scanner.log.5.gz
--------------------
Now that I open my eyes enough to see what's there, it's obvious that
logrotate stopped processing scanner logs in April of last year. I
assume that was a deliberate change, and I am sure there must have been
a good reason for it. But I can't think what that reason might have
been, and I am curious, so I would be grateful if someone would explain
it.
This is just a matter of my own curiosity, trying to understand how
things work. It is not a criticism or complaint!
