How do I troubleshoot logrotate error logs?

I'm having issues with logrotate, and I see error logs. How can I troubleshoot this?

First, check the logrotate configuration files for any syntax errors. You can find them in /etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/.

What specific errors should I look for in the logs?

Look for messages indicating permission issues, missing files, or syntax errors. These are common causes of logrotate failures.

How can I test my logrotate configuration without waiting for the next scheduled run?

You can manually run logrotate with the command logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf to debug without making changes.

Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the logrotate logs?

Yes, you can add the -v option when running logrotate to get more detailed output about what it's doing.
