Recently I've changed logs configuration for letsencrypt, because there was no given one and I have files:
letsencrypt.log
letsencrypt.log.1
letsencrypt.log.10
letsencrypt.log.10.gz
letsencrypt.log.11
letsencrypt.log.11.gz
letsencrypt.log.12
letsencrypt.log.12.gz
letsencrypt.log.13
letsencrypt.log.13.gz
letsencrypt.log.14
letsencrypt.log.14.gz
letsencrypt.log.15
letsencrypt.log.15.gz
letsencrypt.log.16
letsencrypt.log.16.gz
where even files have 1409 bytes and odd files have 0 bytes. Gzipped files however have some content (which differs). The configuration for log rotate is:
/var/log/letsencrypt/*.log
daily
rotate 32
compress
delaycompress
missingok
notifempty
create 644 root root
How should I change the log rotate configuration to leave only:
- first two files not gzipped,
- rest of the files gzipped,
- get rid of empty files?
linux logs gzip logrotate letsencrypt

@Kusalananda When you keep changing the log rotation scheme, either you have to rename or backup/delete logs. The old dangling names wont delete themselves alone.

Yes, I had made experiments changing the log rotate configuration but each time I've removed all the logs. No success yet.

/var/log/letsencrypt/*.log
weekly
rotate 9
compress
delaycompress
missingok
create 644 root root
So the difference is that I've removed notifempty.
