• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

[PPP-28469] logrotate with dateext issue

Basic Pleskian
TITLE:
logrotate with dateext issue
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk, Onyx 17.0.17 Update #19, CentOS Linux 7.3.1611, x64 ‬
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When adding the line dateext on top of /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf the dateext format is applied to both directories:
/var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/logs/
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/
But in the one without system in the path the old files won't be deleted. This causes that every file since the day i switched to dateext is kept in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/ for every domain. In the other directory it works like expected.​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Add dateext to the top of /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf
It looks like this for me (i want dateext for all logs):
cat /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf
dateext

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

Than wait till there are files which should be removed.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
Only the files in /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/logs/ are deleted after the specific amount for example 14 logs (depends on the logs to keep setting per domain).
The files in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/logs/ are kept forever.​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Both directories should deleted the old files. Like it's already done in the directory /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/logs/
It shouldn't behave different with dateext enabled. Without dateext in both directories are the same amount of logfiles in both directories.
