DNF log rotation is handled in different places
Issue
-
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8,
DNF
is the new package management tool and comes with 4 different log files:/var/log/dnf.log
/var/log/hawkey.log
/var/log/dnf.rpm.log
/var/log/dnf.librepo.log
The logrotation configuration is handled in 2 different places:
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf
(option log_rotate - default 4)/etc/logrotate.d/dnf
-
Changing one of the following options:
rotate
weekly/daily/yearly
in
/etc/logrotate.conf
doesn't change the log rotate behavior for someDNF
log files. -
Where is the log rotation configuration for
dnf.log
- it is not included in/etc/logrotate.d/dnf
?
