Especially for fast growing log file otherwise the "size" option of the logrotate config files under /etc/logrotate.d/ didn't become effective. Reproducible: Always
o_O How about that you move it yourself if you need to rotate logs every hour, because 99% of people out there has no absolutely no need for this?
Oh, yes I moved it for me already but I thought that much more people would need it - OTOH running logrotate is cheap so there shouldn't be a big impact isn't it ?
I think that, in general, daily is a much better solution. If your log files are growing so fast they need to be rotated hourly, you should be looking at alternative solutions. You won't have more then a couple of hours of logs anyway, so you should look at logging to a remote host with more disk space, or lowering the verbosity of your logs. You can, of course, move it there yourself (like you did), but I think daily is the better default setting.
