Write a logrotate Drop-In

Storage & Disk · medium · solved in-browser (no VM needed) · 3 tiered hints

Write /etc/logrotate.d/myapp rotating /var/log/myapp/*.log. Inside one stanza for that glob, rotate daily, keep 14 rotations, compress old logs, and use missingok and notifempty so empty or absent logs do not error. (Authored config, graded structurally — the engine isn't run here.)
