Как сжать и убрать журналы с logrotate, но не повернуть их

Я не хотел изменять конфигурацию Tomcat, поэтому был создан сценарий, который сжимал повернутые файлы

#!/bin/bash
#
# TPP 2013-02-21
#
# Tomcat apps use a variety of loggers, mostly log4j.
# These rotate, conflicting with logrotate, the unix log rotation system. 
#
# Some files eg catalina.out
# are rotated to a backup containing a date eg catalina.2013-01-06.log
# which can then be compressed with bz2 to catalina.2013-01-06.log.bz2
#

cd /var/log/tomcat6

# 2013-02-21
DATE=`date --rfc-3339=date`
YEAR=`date +%Y`

for f in $(find catalina* |grep -v bz2 |grep -v '$DATE' |grep $YEAR)
do
 echo "bzip2 $f" 
 bzip2 $f
done

# However others are active whilst containing a date
# so we will find all and not compress the most recent
for l in 'localhost*' 'opt-db*' 'opt*' 'host-manager*' 'manager*'
do
 export previous=
 for f in $(find $l |grep -v bz2 |sort)
 do
  if [ "${previous}" != "" ]
  then
    echo "bzip2 ${previous}" 
    bzip2 $previous
  fi
  export previous=$f
 done
done

exit 0

Измененный сценарий TimP - Добавлено удаление очень старых файлов, добавлено сканирование старых сжатых файлов.

For local_access_log.YYYY-MM-DD.txt فشرده سازی این اسکریپت را پس از دیدن این پست نوشتم: -

#!/bin/bash
#
# If Tomcat uses server.xml config to rotate localhost_access_log,
# the daily rotated logs will need compressing and old ones deleted to stop filling
# the log partiton. Cannot use the system logrotate command as conficts with tomcat rotate
# therefore run this script in a daily cronjob
#
# localhost_access_log.2015-09-03.txt
#
# Add this script in /etc/cron.daily/ owned by root
#

CATALINA_BASE=`ps aux | grep catalina.base | awk -F'catalina.base\=' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ ! $CATALINA_BASE ]
then
    if [ -r /var/lib/tomcat8 ]
    then
        CATALINA_BASE=/var/lib/tomcat8
    else
        echo "Error: cannot find CATALINA_BASE"
        exit 1
    fi
fi

cd ${CATALINA_BASE}/logs

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
    echo "Error, cannot cd to logs directory, quitting...."
    exit 1
fi

# today's date (not to be gzipped)
DATE=`date --rfc-3339=date`
# number of days to keep
MTIME=28

# Compress all previous days uncompressed logs
for log in `ls localhost_access_log* | grep -v bz2 | grep -v $DATE`
do
    bzip2 $log
done

# delete old logs
find . -name "*.bz2" -mtime +$MTIME -exec rm {} \;

exit 0

Здесь представлено простое решение. Это также включает опцию загрузки s3.

Это на удивление просто. Просто скажите logrotate, какие файлы вы конкретно хотите повернуть. nocreate указывает logrotate не воссоздавать пустой файл после перемещения старого (если вы перемещаете файлы во вложенную папку).

/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out.* { 
  daily 
  nocreate
  compress 
  missingok 
}
