BetaRustMIT

About

logrustate is a log rotation tool similar to logrotate. It reads its settings from a TOML file or from classic logrotate.conf style syntax. It rotates logs by schedule or size, compresses them with gzip, and shows what it would do with --debug without touching any file. The project is in beta and supports only part of the logrotate directives.

Features

TOML configuration ([global] and [[entries]]) and classic logrotate.conf syntax
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly schedules with size, minsize and maxsize thresholds
gzip compression, delaycompress, copytruncate, dateext, olddir
prerotate, postrotate, sharedscripts and include
--debug dry-run mode that does not modify files, --force to rotate regardless of schedule
