Logrotated

Learn about configurations >

• logrotate-cronjob | boolean

  Default: True

  Enabled or disables the creation of a cronjob for the automatic updating of the logrotate files.

• logrotate-cronjob-frequency | string

  Default: hourly

  If logrotate-cronjob is True, then this value is used to determine the location of the cronjob file. Valid options are 'hourly', 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly'.

• logrotate-retention | int

  Default: 30

  The logrotate retention period in days. The charm will go through `ALL` logrotate entries in /etc/logrotate.d/ and set the `rotate` config to the appropriate value, depending on the rotation interval used. For example if rotation is monthy and retention is 180 days -> `rotate 6` or rotation is daily and retention is 90 days -> `rotate 90` or rotation is weekly and retention is 21 days -> `rotate 3` Weekly will round up the week count, for example if retention is set to 180 days -> `rotate 26` (26 weeks x 7 days = 182 days) Yearly will put rotate to 1 and increase it with 1 for each 360 days.

• override | string

  Default: []

  JSON-formatted string with override options for files in /etc/logrotate.d/ This override takes precendence over all other options. Format is: [ {"path": "/etc/logrotate.d/rotatefile", "rotate": 5, "interval": "weekly", "size": "100M"}, {}, ... ] Mind the quotes for JSON properties/values! Valid options for rotate: any integer value Valid options for interval: 'daily', 'weekly', 'monthly', 'yearly' Valid options for size: any integer value with unit suffix, for example, '100', '100k', '100M', or '100G'. Note that the size and interval are mutually exclusive, and size takes the precedence.

• update-cron-daily-schedule | string

  Default: unset

  This value determines the time schedule with which the cron.daily job in /etc/crontab runs. This is done in order to control the execution time for the `/etc/cron.daily/logrotate` job. Valid options: 'unset': No change to default cron.daily schedule. 'set,HOUR:MINUTE': cron.daily schedule will be set to timestamp HOUR:MINUTE (24H) daily. 'random,START_HOUR:START_MINUTE,END_HOUR:END_MINUTE': cron.daily schedule will be set to some random value between START_HOUR:START_MINUTE,END_HOUR:END_MINUTE (24H) daily. Note that all cron.daily jobs are affected by this config. They still run once a day but according to the time specified here.
