Strange behavior of logRotate?
- by superdario
Hello,
I have the following configuration of logrotate:
/var/log/test/app.log {
missingok
notifempty
compress
copytruncate
daily
rotate 4
}
The application generating the log is a Java application.

I set up this configuration yesterday before midnight.
Today in the morning I noticed that logRotate made a file called "app.log.1", which only had log entries between 8:21 AM and 10:05 AM. app.log was logging since 10:05 AM.
All the logs before 8:21 AM were missing! Furthermore, "app.log.1" wasn't even compressed.
Do you know what could've caused this?
