GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 556686
gnome-system-log shoud be able to configure logrotate
Last modified: 2020-09-26 09:40:52 UTC
the request has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/274874 "Naturally since the logs viewed in gnome-system-log are kept based on the rules set in etc/logrotate.conf, I think gnome-system-log needs to be able to set a preference on the number of days/weeks the admin would like to keep logs. The calendar functionality is great, but it indicates this feature which is lacks a front end for configuration, I don't think we need the fine grain control that logrotate.conf offers, but at least minimal configuration. This can be accomplished by adding the following functionality: Edit > Preferences Rotate logs [Pull Down] daily | weekly | monthly Keep backlogs for [Field] weeks Compress logs [Radio Buttons] Yes/No"
gnome-system-log is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than four years ago. Its codebase has been archived at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-system-log/ Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
