What should I do if logrotate is not working?

First, check the logrotate configuration file for any syntax errors. You can do this by running logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf.

I ran the command, and it shows no errors. What’s next?

Next, ensure that the logrotate service is running. You can check its status with systemctl status logrotate.

The service is active. Could there be an issue with the log files themselves?

Yes, if the log files are not being created or are not writable, logrotate won't be able to process them. Check the permissions and existence of the log files.

I found that the log file permissions were incorrect. How do I fix that?

You can change the permissions using chmod command. For example, chmod 644 /path/to/logfile will set the correct permissions.
