[Bug 1414754] Re: /etc/logrotate.d/squid3 fails to execute sarg-reports

[Alain Reguera Delgado]

Well, I reported the issue because the sarg monthly report was never
made in a pristine installation. In the research I found that the
access.log file was truncated in a period of time (daily) which is not
appropriate for a monthly report, nor even weekly reports. Even though
sarg scripts are correctly installed and execute, the problem isn't in
them a.f.a I can see, but in the amount of information available in the
access.log file. If it is truncated daily, it is not possible for sarg
to have enough information to make a monthly report.

Title:
  /etc/logrotate.d/squid3 fails to execute sarg-reports

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in squid3 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In Edubuntu 14.04 LTS, by default, the /etc/logrotate.d/squid3 file is
  set to rotate the logs in a daily basis but it doesn't specifies that
  to sarg-reports command.

  /var/log/squid3/*.log {
         daily
          compress
          delaycompress
          rotate 2
          missingok
          nocreate
          sharedscripts
          prerotate
                  test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports
          endscript
          postrotate
                  test ! -e /var/run/squid3.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid3 || /usr/sbin/squid3 -k rotate
          endscript
  }

  As consequence, sarg-reports fails to do its job and anacron reports
  the following message:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  SARG - Daily / Weekly / Monthly - Squid proxy usage reports creation tool
  Written by Ugo Viti <ugo.viti at initzero.it>
  Version: 20050202

  Usage: /usr/sbin/sarg-reports [OPTIONS]

  Allowed options:
      manual,  Create Manual report
       today,  Create Today report
       daily,  Create Daily report
      weekly,  Create Weekly report
     monthly,  Create Monthly report

  A possible solution would be to add the rotation frequency required by
  sarg-reports command as argument to it.

  /var/log/squid3/*.log {
         daily
          compress
          delaycompress
          rotate 2
          missingok
          nocreate
          sharedscripts
          prerotate
                  test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports daily
          endscript
          postrotate
                  test ! -e /var/run/squid3.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid3 || /usr/sbin/squid3 -k rotate
          endscript
  }

  In a Squid3+Sarg configuration, it may be convenient to change the log
  rotation frequency from daily to monthly, so sarg has more information
  to work with in a single /var/log/squid3/access.log file.
