Global frequency
simo2409 opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
I'm trying to change the global frequency to "daily" with no luck.
I tried, following the readme, to do:
%w[ weekly monthly yearly ].each do |freq|
node.override['logrotate']['global'][freq] = false
end
node.override['logrotate']['global']['daily'] = true
But /etc/logrotate.conf seems un-touched
I also tried to specify some logrotate_app
and they work perfectly, thank you for your work!
Target is CentOs7 (if it helps)
@simo2409 Thanks for filing this issue. I'll try to take a look at it by the end of this week. Some quick thoughts: Where did you place that example code? Are you sure it is being processed before the logrotate::global recipe in the compile phase of the chef-client run?
I'm using chef to provision a CentOS 7 server on my local machine (running in vagrant) and starting from base (minimal) centos 7 image.
I tried two ways (both unsuccessful):
1 - I specified in host's json (nodes/127.0.0.1.json):
"logrotate": {
"global": {
"weekly": "false",
"daily": "true"
}
},
It didn't work so
2 - I tried to put node.override into the cookbook I created called "logrotate" in which (in recipes/default.rb) I have:
%w[ weekly monthly yearly ].each do |freq|
node.override['logrotate']['global'][freq] = false
end
node.override['logrotate']['global']['daily'] = true
# Some logrotate_app which work properly
I don't know if it's a bug or simply I didn't understand how it should work.
Thank you very much
"logrotate": {
"global": {
"weekly": "false",
"daily": "true"
}
},
What if you try the barewords true
and false
rather than the strings "true"
and "false"
?
2 - I tried to put node.override into the cookbook I created called "logrotate" in which (in recipes/default.rb) I have:
Does that recipe call include_recipe "logrotate::global"
or is logrotate::global in the node's run list?
That was the problem! I didn't call logrotate::global nor I called include_recipe "logrotate::global", now it works properly with the data in node's json (with true/false, not "true"/"false").
Thank you so much!
If it's useful I can send you a PR to include a note in readme about "logrotate::global", it would be helped me in this case
