Title:
logrotate systemd timer should run hourly rather than daily
Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Logrotate supports "hourly rotation, however the Ubuntu logrotate
systemd Timer runs "daily" - so "hourly" logrotate jobs are still only
run daily.
Updating /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer:
...
[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly
...
should allow "logrotate hourly" to work as expected.
See related comment at https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/249#issuecomment-485829363
"The tricky part is that one needs to change the default cron hook
(or systemd timer) to make hourly actually work as expected."
Thanks!
