Question
Is it possible to change rotation settings for /var/log/maillog?
Answer
It is not possible to manage rotation settings for /var/log/maillog. By design, /var/log/maillog is rotated every day during Plesk Daily Maintenance task.
As an alternative, /var/log/maillog.proccessed rotation settings may be changed instead. After Daily Maintenance Task is executed, all log data is moved from /var/log/maillogto /var/log/maillog.proccessed.
To modify /var/log/maillog.proccessed rotation settings, perform the following steps:
-
Log in to the server via SSH.
-
Edit the settings in the
/usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conffile:/var/log/maillog.processed {
weekly
missingok
rotate 3
compress
nocreate
}
Note: Use one of the following words to set the rotation frequency: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.
