As initial set up I&rsquo;ve updated logrotate.conf(<code>/etc/logrotate.conf</code>) with below settings.</p> <h4 id="file-to-edit">file to edit:</h4> <p><code>/etc/logrotate.conf</code></p> <p>{% gist 5d2a8a1bf8cb0f619b45a39785dee395 %}</p> <p>Then updated syslog rotate config to test on how messages files can be archived. Make sure the destination path is created. In this case I&rsquo;ve got <code>/opt/logs/</code> referenced. <em>file edited</em> <code>/opt/logrotate.d/syslog</code></p> <p>{% gist bacb68f7f66e346d1d80f2a934c00856 %}</p> <p>This will ensure the last rotated log file would be copied to /opt/logs/. You can have any other scripts configured to upload to blob from here. Once these settings are in place test run(force run) <em>logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf</em>. Result of the operation can be found below</p>
