emailing access logs

[akblackwel]

This might be a logrotate question, but I thought I would start here. In my logrotate.conf it's set up to email the user after the log rotates.

blah blah blah
mail [email protected]
}


User's is not getting an email of the logs. I looked in the mail and the logrotate logs, but have found no hints as to why this might be happening. I don't necessarily need the answer, but an idea on where to look would also be helpful.

By default the code of the logrotate.conf is as follows:

include /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.d

/usr/local/psa/admin/logs/*_log {
weekly
rotate 12
missingok
notifempty
copytruncate
compress
}

if you want to e-mail this all you have to do is as follows:

include /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.d

/usr/local/psa/admin/logs/*_log {
weekly
rotate 12
missingok
notifempty
copytruncate
compress
mail [email protected]

}

If this does not works let me know what is present in your logrotate.conf so that I can tell you further.

Thanks.

This is what I already have.

/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/somewhere.com/statistics/logs/*.processed {
daily
rotate 50
nocompress
missingok
mail [email protected]
}
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/somewhere.com/statistics/logs/error_log {
daily
rotate 50
nocompress
missingok
copytruncate
mail [email protected]
}
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/somewhere.com/statistics/logs/error_ssl_log {
daily
rotate 50
nocompress
missingok
copytruncate
mail [email protected]
}

This config is currently not working.

Can you tell me ti chich mail address you are trying to send it?
Coz I think it will not send to any othe mail address other than the server, or try sending it to root@servername.

Telll me if it works, if it works then it indicates that the conf file is working fine.
Let me know what happens.


Thanks.

Try sending it to a E-Mail address of the domain which is present on the server, i think it might work
