Redis logrotate config

Question

Does anyone have a sample logrotate config for redis? This is what I have so far

/var/log/redis/*.log {
        daily
        missingok
        rotate 52
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        create 640 root adm
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                ...
        endscript
}

But I'm not sure what to do on the postrotate step. This is on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Answer 1

This will probably suffice:

/var/log/redis/*.log {
       weekly
       rotate 10
       copytruncate
       delaycompress
       compress
       notifempty
       missingok
}

Answer 2

I went with

/var/log/redis/*.log {
        weekly
        missingok
        rotate 52
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        create 0660 redis redis
}

because I don't want copytruncate.

I'm not sure the create line is necessary. It matches the file mode and ownership of the log files typically created by redis-server on Ubuntu (or Debian).
