I am hitting this issue as well - I've been able to work around it by running a script post startup which uses sed to replace the `Daily` lines in the logrotate.timer file with hourly, and reload the systemd daemon config.
#!/bin/bash sed -i "/Description=Daily rotation of log files/c\Description=Hourly rotation of log files" /lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer sed -i "/OnCalendar=daily/c\OnCalendar=hourly" /lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer systemctl daemon-reload; systemctl stop logrotate.timer; systemctl start logrotate.timer This is a crude workaround, but I assume the actual fix should be to modify the same items in the distro logrotate.timer file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to logrotate in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2037022 Title: logrotate systemd timer should run hourly rather than daily Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Logrotate supports "hourly rotation, however the Ubuntu logrotate systemd Timer runs "daily" - so "hourly" logrotate jobs are still only run daily. Updating /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer: ... [Timer] OnCalendar=hourly ... should allow "logrotate hourly" to work as expected. See related comment at https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/249#issuecomment-485829363 "The tricky part is that one needs to change the default cron hook (or systemd timer) to make hourly actually work as expected."
