Description

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/squidGuard 
/var/log/squid/squidGuard.log {

# rpm -qf /etc/logrotate.d/squidGuard 
squidGuard-1.4-9.el6.x86_64
# grep logdir /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf 
logdir /var/log/squidGuard
As you can see, squidGuard package rotates standard log in /var/log/squid, but we log into /var/log/squidGuard.
Two issues arise:
  1. rotate "right" squidGuard.log
  2. rotate urlfilter.log

The squidGuard package contains both logs:

rpm -qlv squidGuard | grep log
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root                       87 Jun 27  2012 /etc/logrotate.d/squidGuard
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root    root                       28 Jun 27  2012 /var/log/squid/squidGuard.log -> ../squidGuard/squidGuard.log
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                        0 Jun 27  2012 /var/log/squidGuard

But /var/log/squid/squidGuard.log is a link. The link is lost after the logrotate.

I see a couple of solutions.

Solution 1:
  • patch squidGuard package to remove the link
  • change squidGuard configuration to log in /var/log/squid
Solution 2:
  • change the logrotate configuration to rotate files inside /var/log/squidGuard directory. Should we create a template or patch squidGuard package?

I'd report the problem upstream and fork the package.

SquidGuard package is from EPEL repository.

I add a new template and reported the issue upstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1149090

VERIFIED

NOTE

When squid logs are rotated the /var/log/squid/squidGuard.log symlink is substituted by a regular file.

squidGuard logs are under /var/log/squidGuard.
