This is the log file I am using to compress log files on a daily basis.
/home/ubuntu/logs/server.log
daily
missingok
rotate 1
compress
create
dateext
dateyesterday
dateformat .%Y-%m-%d
extension .gz
postrotate
mv /home/ubuntu/logs/*.gz /home/ubuntu/zip/
endscript
When I run with the --force option, I don't see the zipped file. I can see only the date extension applied to the file. Here is the result of running the command
logrotate /home/ubuntu/conf/logrotate.conf --state /home/ubuntu/conf/logrotate.state --verbose --force
Result:
rotating pattern: /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log forced from command line (1 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log
log needs rotating
rotating log /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log, log->rotateCount is 1
Converted ' .%Y-%m-%d' -> '.%Y-%m-%d'
dateext suffix '.2018-03-04'
glob pattern '.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]'
glob finding old rotated logs failed
renaming /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log to /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log.2018-03-04
creating new /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log mode = 0664 uid = 1000 gid = 1000
running postrotate script
mv: cannot stat '/home/ubuntu/logs/*.gz': No such file or directory
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /home/ubuntu/logs/server.log of '/home/ubuntu/logs/server.log '
How do I ensure that the log file created yesterday is zipped off and a new, empty one is created for today?

If you want to move rotated logs to a different directory, there's theolddiroption.

I want to zip and move it to a different directory. For now, I am not even able to get the log files zipped on a daily basis.

For now, try getting it moved first.

I can see it moved with theolddircommand. Now usepostrotateto compress?

The manpage oflogrotate.confsays that thepostrotatescript is run before the rotated file is compressed. It's possible thatcompressdid not work in your earlier attempt because thepostrotatescript failed.
