aspects_logrotate

Manage logrotate configuration in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d.

Requirements

logrotate needs to be installed on your node.

Set hash_behaviour=merge in your ansible.cfg file.

Role Variables

aspects_logrotate_enabled

Enable or disable this role. Default is False/Disabled. Set to True in order to enable the role.

aspects_logrotate_configs

A dictionary containing explict rules.

Each rule is saved in /etc/logrotate.d/. The file name is the same as the dictionary key. So, aspects_logrotate_configs.apache would be saved in /etc/logrotate.d/apache.

That means that you can overwrite any rules in /etc/logrotate.d simply by setting the key to the filename.

aspects_logrotate_conf_file

A dictionary of values to place in the /etc/logrotate.conf file.

Dictionary keys should be prefixed with a number to allow proper sorting.

See defaults/main.yml for examples. You can set a default value, or per distro and major version.

Configure systemd timer file

aspects_logrotate_manage_timer

Enable or disable management of the timer file. Default: False To enable, set to True

aspects_logrotate_timer_OnCalendar

Default: 'daily' Check SystemD docs for other possible values for the .timer files OnCalendar setting.

aspects_logrotate_timer_AccuracySec

Default: '12h' Check SystemD docs for other possible values for the .timer files AccuracySec setting.

aspects_logrotate_timer_Persistent

Default: 'true' Check SystemD docs for other possible values for the .timer files Persistent setting.

aspects_logrotate_timer_other_settings

Default: '' Used to add extra settings to the [timer] section of the .timer file. Just add the full key and value lines.

Configure hourly runs on non-SystemD timer systems

Set aspects_logrotate_run_hourly_cron to True.
