logrotation for nats-server logs

[zakk616]

I have tried to configure log rotation for nats-server on one of my cluster nodes using logrotate , below is my nats logrotate config:

/var/log/nats/nats-server-*.log.* {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 1
    compress
    notifempty
    create 640 root root
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/systemctl reload nats-server > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
    endscript
    maxage 1
}

and tested it in dry and force mode with below commands:
sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/nats
sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/nats

what it does is, compresses all existing logs and keep the old logs with size zero and compressed files.

what I need is to delete the older than on day files and compress today's logs.

any idea ?

Use copytruncate and not create ....
