To test Logrotate, run the command below and then check the server’s log/ directories which should contain the compressed files with the logs: $ sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/bitnami. Rotating pattern: /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/*_log weekly (150 rotations)Ĭonsidering log /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/access_log

The command below displays the current Logrotate configuration for your servers: $ sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/nf To test Logrotate, run the command below and then check the Apache server’s log/ directory which should contain the compressed files with the logs: $ sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/apacheĪccess_log access_log-YYYYMMDD.gz error_log error_log-YYYYMMDD.gzĪpproach B: Self-contained Bitnami installations Rotating pattern: /opt/bitnami/apache/logs/*log weekly (150 rotations)Įmpty log files are rotated, old logs are removedĬonsidering log /opt/bitnami/logs/access_logĬonsidering log /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/error_log The command below displays the current Logrotate configuration for the Apache server: $ sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/apache Approach A: Bitnami installations using system packages Refer to the FAQ for more information on these changes. The output of the command indicates which approach (A or B) is used by the installation, and will allow you to identify the paths, configuration and commands to use in this guide. To identify your Bitnami installation type and what approach to follow, run the command below: $ test ! -f "/opt/bitnami/common/bin/openssl" & echo "Approach A: Using system packages." || echo "Approach B: Self-contained installation." On account of these changes, the file paths stated in this guide may change depending on whether your Bitnami stack uses native Linux system packages (Approach A), or if it is a self-contained installation (Approach B). NOTE: We are in the process of modifying the file structure and configuration for many Bitnami stacks. To record every request, use a different approach for rotating the logs. There is a very small time slice between copying the file and truncating it, so some logging data might be lost. IMPORTANT: The “copytruncate” approach truncates the original log file to zero size in place after creating a copy, instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new one. Use the man logrotate command for information on all available options.īy default, Logrotate uses the “copytruncate” approach so it is not necessary to restart the servers. For instance, to configure the Apache Logrotate file, edit the file at /opt/bitnami/apache/extra/nf. Logrotate files for different servers are stored in the /opt/bitnami/SERVER_NAME/extra directory where SERVER_NAME is a placeholder for the server name. If you are using a virtual machine or cloud image, Logrotate is already configured and enabled by default. Recent versions of Bitnami stacks ship Logrotate configuration files for all servers. For a time range bigger 48h grafana starts to cumulate the values it ends up with only NULL values. which means I only get one value and 4 time NULL every 5 minutes.


It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. I researched a little and found that in the database there are data points each minute. Logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files.
