linuxl logrotate debug

To enable debug mode for logrotate in Linux, you can add the "-d" option to the logrotate command or set the "DEBUG" parameter in the logrotate configuration file.

Option 1: Using the "-d" option Run the logrotate command with the "-d" option to enable debug mode. For example:

logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf

This will cause logrotate to print debug information to the console while executing.

Option 2: Setting the "DEBUG" parameter in configuration Edit the logrotate configuration file (usually located at "/etc/logrotate.conf" or in a directory under "/etc/logrotate.d/") and add the following line:

DEBUG

Save the file and then run logrotate as usual. This will enable debug mode for all logrotate actions specified in the configuration file.

Note: Debug mode may generate a lot of information, so it's recommended to redirect the output to a file for easier analysis. You can do this by modifying the logrotate command as follows:

logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf > debug.log 2>&1

This will redirect both standard output and standard error to the "debug.log" file
