Logrotate não irá girar o log enquanto diz que sim

Question

Eu tenho uma configuração de logrotate que funcionou normalmente, até que de repente parou de funcionar. Acho que ele parou de girar meu log depois que excluí e recriei a logpasta enquanto atualizava meu aplicativo. Abaixo estão as partes relevantes do log de configuração e logrotate.

/etc/logrotate.conf

# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0660 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/lib/redmine/log/production.log{
    daily
    rotate 30
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
}

Depois de executar manualmente o logrotate:

rotating pattern: /var/lib/redmine/log/production.log after 1 days (30 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/lib/redmine/log/production.log
  log needs rotating
rotating log /var/lib/redmine/log/production.log, log->rotateCount is 30
dateext suffix '-20151209'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'

Depois de listar o diretório de log:

ll /var/lib/redmine/log/
total 178484
drwxrwxr-x  2 redmine redmine      4096 Dec  9 12:05 ./
drwxr-xr-x 20 redmine redmine      4096 Dec  6 23:56 ../
-rw-rw-r--  1 redmine redmine     49581 Dec  8 14:47 development.log
-rw-r--r--  1 redmine redmine 182700709 Dec  9 12:05 production.log

Então diz que girou o arquivo de log, mas nada realmente aconteceu. Qual pode ser a razão para isso?

Answer 1

Um motivo pode ser que você está listando seus logs como o usuário redmine, enquanto o logrotate funciona como root, então a listagem de diretórios não os mostra

Prefiro criar o arquivo /etc/logrotate.d/redmine Com o seguinte conteúdo:

/path/to/your/redmine/log/production.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 31
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
copytruncate
} 

Então teste por:

sudo /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/redmine

Answer 2

O problema passou a ser permissões erradas na logpasta. O Logrotate não o processava porque tinha acesso de gravação em grupo. Depois de executar chmod 755na pasta de log, tudo começou a funcionar.
