[clamav-users] Setting up logrotation

[J.R.]

Log rotation done by clamav is totally separate than your system's log
rotation that is done by a cronjob...

Unless you are doing some serious debugging, there isn't a lot that is
written to the clamd & freshclam log files...

My daily clamd.log is maybe 2 KB, and freshclam.log maybe around 20 KB...

I've never used the internal ClamAV log rotation feature, but if you
want to create a file in your /etc/logrotate.d directory you can do
something like this:

For clamd:

/var/log/clamav/clamd.log {
        missingok
        notifempty
        daily
        compress
        create 644 clam clam
        postrotate
                killall -HUP clamd 2>/dev/null || :
        endscript
}

For freshclam (note: I run via cron job, not daemon):

/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log {
        missingok
        notifempty
        daily
        compress
        create 644 clam clam
}
