Issue
-
Only on the day of the restart the jenkins log is created. After the first log rotate is empty.
-
Jenkins access_log stays empty after logrotate
-
I enabled access logging in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins, but it’s always empty.
Resolution
Firstly - take a backup of/etc/logrotate.d/jenkins file.
Then, remove the section that says postrotate and replace that whole section with copytruncate
So it should look like this:
/var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log /var/log/jenkins/access_log {
compress
dateext
maxage 365
rotate 99
size=+4096k
notifempty
missingok
create 644
copytruncate
}
The next logrotate run by cron will implement this change.
