given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Description

From logrotate’s documentation:

logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large.

Usage

This module's default values should be the same as your distribution defaults:

include logrotate

But you can customize everything:

class { '::logrotate':
  purge_unmanaged_rules => false,
  global_settings       => {
    compress     => true,
    create       => true,
    ifempty      => false,
    missingok    => true,
    rotate       => 30,
    frequency    => 'daily',
    copytruncate => true,
  },
}

You can then create rules with the logrotate::rule defined type:

logrotate::rule { '/var/log/syslog':
  rotate        => 7,
  frequency     => 'daily',
  missingok     => true,
  ifempty       => false,
  delaycompress => true,
  compress      => true,
  postrotate    => [
    '/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate',
  ]
}

Reference

A complete reference can be found in the REFERENCE.md file.

Limitations

This module has only been tested on Debian 9 and 10, but it should work with older and newer version as well as with Ubuntu 18.04 and later.
