Overview
NGINX Logging Issue
- After looking into NGINX DEBUG & other I’d found nothing related to this issue.
- So I’d decided to run the logrotate command manually and see what’s going on.
$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 0640 www-data adm
sharedscripts
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
fi \
endscript
postrotate
invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
endscript
}- When I run the post rotate script manually it’s through errors.
^_^[root@mitesh.com:~]# invoke-rc.d nginx rotate
initctl: invalid command: rotate
Try `initctl --help' for more information.
invoke-rc.d: initscript nginx, action "rotate" failed.- That clearly means we have to look into post rotate script.
Fix NGINX Logging Issue
- After doing some research and search on IRC channel,
- I’d found the solution which fix this issue.
^_^[root@mitesh.com:~]# service nginx rotate
* Re-opening nginx log files nginxFix All Servers using Ansible
- I hate manually run same command on nearly hundred of servers.
- Ansible is a good way to automate this boring work.
$ ansible ALL -m shell -a "sudo sed -i 's/invoke-rc.d nginx rotate/service nginx rotate/' /etc/logrotate.d/nginx"
$ ansible ALL -m shell -a "sudo service nginx rotate"NOTE!: If you are not sure what is Ansible then check out some Ansible Tutorials.
