Something new here has cropped up, no changes to configs for some time.
I've had my dovecot using the default /var/log/dovecot.log location
for logging, logrotate used to back this up weekly and logging would
continue using this same file. Now when logrotate runs, it correctly
backs up the log but then creates a new dovecot.log-yyyymmdd file and
dovecot starts logging to that. I'm at a loss as to why this is
happening. My postfix and other processes are still using their
correct log files, so it seems related only to dovecot.
From /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot
/var/log/dovecot.log {
weekly
rotate 4
missingok
notifempty
compress
delaycompress
sharedscripts
postrotate
doveadm log reopen
endscript
}
After some more troubleshooting, I commented out the compress and
delaycompress lines, and that seems to have resolved it. No other logs
were being compressed here so no hard done. Have to assume something
was going wrong with the compression that led to the issues I was
seeing. Will wait for something worse to blow up to dive into it again.
LOL
