Vertica.log file is not rotating 2

/home/dbadmin/DBbursa/v_DB_node0001_catalog/vertica.log
the log is not rotating because log rotate expects username owner to be root root

of file

/opt/vertica/config/logrotate/total/DB
and it is dbadmin verticadba

  • Hi Shimon!

    Can you post your installation flags? You can extract it from /opt/vertica/config/admintools.conf

  • Hi!

    It do not match, to config.

    /home/dbadmin/DBbursa/v_DB_node0001_catalog/vertica.log

    means that name of database is DB, while you posted config for frienddb and myappdb

  • no i changed names if you can remove that DBbursa from all comments and thus comment
  • after changing the owner it works for me , i just report a bug to you
  • Hi!

    Thanks, but looks like you are an enterprise user (4 nodes ;)), so a best way its to open a ticket or send an e-mail to Vertica support.

    About your "bug":
    1. I did a lot of installations and no problems with log rotation. There are problems sometimes(while its not clear in docs) with user permissions when you defines a db super user and/or os user already exists. But you modified your output so I can't be sure that you didn't modified your install options too and so can say where is a problem.
    An example of permissions problem:
    https://community.vertica.com/vertica/topics/tz


    2. Ubuntu 14.04 isn't supported, so be careful, you actually have no support.
    https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.0.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/SupportedPlatforms/MCandServer.htm%3FTocP...

    PS
    I asked only install options - to verify a problem with permissions and I don't care about ips, and so on, only db super user, group, password, etc.

    Ubuntu 14.04 require threshold HALT :)
    daniel@xps:~$ lsb_release -a
