Logrotate files with date in the file name

Question

I am trying to configure logrotate in RHEL for tomcat6 logs. Currently, logrotate works fine for catalina.out log, it is rotated and compressed properly.

The problem

Answer 1

Also, you can add crons instead hardcode logrotate.

1 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/log/tomcat/ -mtime +30 -delete
2 0 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/log/tomcat/ -mtime +1 -exec gzip -q {} \;

In this way, you will delete the logs older than 30 days, and zip the logs older than 1.
