Hi.

I noticed some log files are not rotating.
Example:
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/fail2ban.log
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/plesk/httpsd_access_log

After checking config file, /opt/psa/etc/logrotate.conf

allowhardlink

include /opt/psa/etc/logrotate.d


/var/log/plesk/xferlog.processed {
        missingok
        rotate 24
        monthly
        maxsize    200M
        compress
        nocreate
}

/var/log/maillog.processed {
        missingok
        rotate 24
        monthly
        maxsize    200M
        compress
        nocreate
}

/opt/psa/var/webalizer.cache {
    missingok
    rotate  0
    size    512M
    nocreate
}

I think it missing "include /etc/logrotate.d", because /etc/logrotate.d contains settings for logs that are not rotating

# ls /etc/logrotate.d/
alternatives  apt   drweb-update  fail2ban         mariadb       nginx      plesk        plesk-php83  sw-cp-server  syslog-ng
apache2       dpkg  drwebd        httpd-prerotate  mod_security  passenger  plesk-php82  ppp          sw-engine     unattended-upgrades

Hello, @uniauto. The log files listed in /etc/logrotate.d are processed by the system logrotate. Generally, if logs are not used in statistics generation, they are rotated via ‘system’ logrotate rather than the Plesk's logrorate utility. /opt/psa/etc/logrotate.conf (DEB-based) is where log files handled by Plesk's logrorate utility are defined.

Debian 12 use journalctl and logrotate are not installed by default.
Since /etc/logrotate.d constains plesk related log, maybe plesk should install logrotage or manage it using psa-logrotate, because system default arent doing anything and some logs became big.

The best solution in this particular case will be to consider installing the logrotate package:

apt install logrotate
