Howdy -- it's difficult to say why that directory is large. It will need to be inspected a little closer.

My suggestion would be to review that directory, and look at the various files there. How large are those files there? And how old are the largest files?

there is some *.gz
and all a nother
like
*_access_log
*_error_log
todays date

(log file is large)

You can try validating the logrotate configuration with the command logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.conf and see if it reports any errors.

please add virtualmin ability to fix , to check this during install or recheck config!
solution and problem:

# logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.d/eddnet.org.conf
Ignoring /etc/logrotate.d/eddnet.org.conf because of bad file mode.
Handling 0 logs

# logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1 | grep -i "bad file mode" -c
59
# chmod 644 /etc/logrotate.d/*
# logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1 | grep -i "bad file mode" -c
0

After changing those permissions, is it working properly for you now?

Submitted by JamieCameron on Tue, 06/23/2015 - 15:22

What were the permissions on /etc/logrotate.d/eddnet.org.conf before you fixed them?

Thanks, that helps - Virtualmin will ensure the correct permissions are set in the next release.
