Is it possible to read log files that are rotated daily? We have an enormous amount of traffic that comes through daily and we can easily get 1 GB files in the log so we set up daily rotations with compression. I noticed that we are no longer able to look in the Tracking Center for previous days items. I can disable the compression for a day so that we can at least see the day before's log. Is it possible to read more than just mail.log in Tracking Center?
[SOLVED] Log File Rotation
- Thread starter cdirk07
- Start date
The Tracking center takes it's information from /var/log/syslog, /var/log/syslog.1, /var/log/syslog.(2-31).gz
you should be able to tune the logrotation for those files to get more information
currently the filenames are hardcoded - so you need to keep the delaycompress option in the logrotate.conf
I hope this helps!

Oh ok. So they come from the syslog, not mail.log. I will go and change syslog from the date format that is currently has to the numbers. The Tracking Center is able to read into zipped files as well?
yes - but as said - it's not too flexible - the list of files it considers is hard-coded:

There's an enhancement request for augmenting that https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3657
(but as always no promises if/when this might be included)
Perfect. That is easy enough. I was a little worried about space but if it can read through compressed files, we'll be good. Thanks!
