-------------------------------Syslog Server-------------------------------


Find the directory where the configuration file：
[root@config asptools]# cat /etc/logrotate.conf | grep -B 1 include

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include     /etc/logrotate.d


Custom configuration file：
[root@config asptools]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/Monitor 

/var/log/Monitor/*.log {
        compress
        notifempty
        rotate         6
        create         0400 root root
        olddir         /var/log/Monitor/old/
        sharedscripts
        weekly
}


Create a log backup directory：
[root@config asptools]# mkdir /var/log/Monitor/old


Manual testing：
[root@config asptools]# logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/Monitor
