Problem with logrotate in Ubuntu 22.04! - sr-users

16 Apr 2024


      Hi all,
i set up a simple Kamailio SIP server with the latest stable versione.
Than, by following the documntation, i tried to set up a file log instead of the standard syslog log, so i changed the syslog.conf by adding this lines:
# don't log messages with LOG_LOCAL0 in /var/log/syslog anymore
    *.*;auth,authpriv.none,local0.none      -/var/log/syslog
#
    # log messages with LOG_LOCAL0 in /var/log/kamailio.log
    local0.*            -/var/log/kamailio.log
Then, i created a kamailio file in /etc/logrotate.d with this content to manage the log rotation:
/var/log/kamailio.log {
    su root root
    daily
    rotate 7
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 0640 syslog adm
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}
I found all these information in https://www.kamailio.org/wikidocs/tutorials/3.2.x/syslog/
Unfortunatly, in my Ubuntu 22.04 server there isn't a syslogd.pid file in that path so the logrotation doesn't work.
Can anyone help me to understand the problem?
Thank you so much in advance
Christian
