I am having a requirement to rotate the my application logs dailay as it is keep on writiing to single file and below is the logrotate function which I am using,
cat /apps/bmc/bmtm/QPasa_logrotate.conf
/apps/bmc/bmtm/all_events.log /apps/bmc/bmtm/history_association.log {
missingok
notifempty
daily
rotate 15
create 0755 mqm mqm
}
when I execute the about function with logrotate with debug mode it is clearly showing that log files are rotated however when I do list the files they are not availble and the orignal file has the same content.
/usr/sbin/logrotate -dv /apps/bmc/bmtm/QPasa_logrotate.conf
reading config file /apps/bmc/bmtm/QPasa_logrotate.conf
reading config info for /apps/bmc/bmtm/all_events.log /apps/bmc/bmtm/history_association.log
Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /apps/bmc/bmtm/all_events.log /apps/bmc/bmtm/history_association.log after 1 days (15 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
