Hi All,
How can it be done it logrotate configuration that I wanted to have the logs in six (6) month retention period? I have the following logs and directories of mysql.
[hostname]# ls /var/log/mysql/ 2010.05.01/general.log 2010.05.01/error.log 2010.05.02/general.log 2010.05.02/error.log 2010.05.03/general.log 2010.05.03/error.log
Is it possible that the output after doing logrotate could be like the below sample. All compressed logs will be keep until 6 months only. I know there is man page / docs in internet but I can't get the exact configuration to use.
[hostname]# ls /var/log/mysql/ 2010.05.01.gz 2010.05.02.gz 2010.05.03.gz 2010.05.27/general.log 2010.05.27/report.log
Thank you.
Regards, James

(a) "man logrotate" is available on your in installed system and try to follow the examples in the man page.
The cycles are daily/monthly/yearly. For 6 month rotation you can choose monthly and make rotate >= 6 or higher (also allow size large enough to avoid log rotation overwrite).
