[squid-users] Logrotate question

Thu Jun 16 13:03:10 UTC 2022

So just create the file I sent you before or extract the file from the squid RPM using “rpm2cpio squid…rpm |cpio -dimv” in some tmp dir.
You will just need to copy the file into the proper location, disable the cron you have created and if the squid binary is in a specific different folder change the path of the squid binary in the squid logrotate file accordingly.

All The Bests,

No squid isn't sorry it is compiled from source, I forgot to add it sorry about that

Since this one is from yum install it’s very simple to just change the config files of squid and logrotate.

If you need more assistance let me know.

Self compiled from source with others ie

Squidclamav
Cicap
Cicap modules

And clamav but did this one via yum install

I imagine Eliezer that's what I need to put in logrotate.conf file

Oops,

The next is the file: /etc/logrotate.d/squid
##START
/var/log/squid/*.log {
    weekly
    rotate 5
    compress
    notifempty
    missingok
    nocreate
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
      # Asks squid to reopen its logs. (logfile_rotate 0 is set in squid.conf)
      # errors redirected to make it silent if squid is not running
      /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate 2>/dev/null
      # Wait a little to allow Squid to catch up before the logs is compressed
      sleep 1
    endscript
}
##END

So you need to change the rotate to 92+ and also change the squid number of logs to the same number.

Let me know if you it’s helpful.

in fact, it does not.

I guess you are supposed to keep 3 months of logs, which mean, you always 
need to have 3 months of logs available.

Each day, you can delete log files over 3 months old.

If you rotated lof once in 3 months, you would have single file with 3 
months of logs in it, and could remove it 3 months after rotating, when 
first logs would be 6 months old.

As we already told you, rotate daily and remove old logs after 92 days.
and use logrotate config.
