ansible-logrotate

Configure logrotation.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

• logrotate_targets: Configure log rotation targets and options (dict, default: {})
• logrotate_package_list_state: Wheter packages are state installed or latest (string, default: installed)

logrotate_targets

logrotate_targets allow to configure logrotation for any number of files per dictionary key. Each logrotate_targets key supports all options from logrotate (man 5 logrotate.conf) with the options list.

Generated templates are verified with logrotate -d %s before they are copied to the logrotate.d directory.

logrotate_targets:
  - name: foobar
    files:
      - /var/log/foo/*.log
      - /var/log/bar/*.log
    options:
      - "rotate 7"
      - daily
      - missingok
      - notifempty
      - compress
    ...

Configuring a file name/pattern only results in the following logrotate configuration:

logrotate_targets:
  - name: foobar
    files:
      - /var/log/foo/bar*.log

/var/log/foo/bar*.log
{
  rotate 7
  daily
  missingok
  notifempty
  compress
}

Dependencies

None.

Integration testing

This role provides integration tests using the Ruby RSpec/serverspec framework with a few drawbacks at the time of writing this documentation.

• Currently supports ansible_os_family == 'Debian' only.

Running integration tests requires a number of dependencies being installed. As this role uses Ruby RSpec there is the need to have Ruby with rake and bundler available.

# install role specific dependencies with bundler
bundle install

# run the complete test suite with Docker
rake suite

# run the complete test suite with Vagrant
RAKE_ANSIBLE_USE_VAGRANT=1 rake suite
