Hello, i am newbie in this forum.

Linux version suse. Logrotate version logrotate-3.7.7-10.26.1

I have the next configuration for my logrotate

/datos/filersys/NTV/SYSLOG/*/*/*/*messages
/datos/filersys/NTV/SYSLOG/*/*/*/*log
{
        rotate 35
        copytruncate
        compress
        notifempty
        missingok
}

I have two problems

1º => I would like to filter logs with the current date... however... i find nothing from google. I need something like this:

/datos/filersys/NTV/SYSLOG/*/$CURRENT_DATE/*/*messages
/datos/filersys/NTV/SYSLOG/*/$CURRENT_DATE/*/*log
{
rotate 35
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}

It is possible?

2º => With this configuration i got errors like that:

Why do i found ".36.gz"? My count is "35". rotate 35.


Thanks a lot.

Unless someone knows the answer(s) here you could try a man on logrotate and contact the maintainer listed at the bottom. There could be a mailing list or IRC channel where you could raise the question(s).

I already solved the problem.

Well... to skip the error of the second tip , i got running logratate without -d option and with -v or -f option to force the rotate. Its very curious :S

After 2 days trying 1000 ways for solving... that option is the key.

For the first tip, its imposible to obtain a regex to get the current date, so its imposible. We can play with *, ranges of dates, etc... but not with the current date.

Thanks.
I answered to help ppl who have the same problem.
Byebye!
