How can I have rotated log files without a numbered suffix using Linux logrotate?

Question

I have on my server more file rotate, but when I want to compress it, i Have an extension 1.gz, but I just want .gz

These files are automatically rotate by the application:

server.log.2023-03-16
server.log.2023-03-15
server.log.2023-03-14

My result:

server.log.2023-03-16.1.gz
server.log.2023-03-15.1.gz
server.log.2023-03-14.1.gz

I want:

server.log.2023-03-16.gz
server.log.2023-03-15.gz
server.log.2023-03-14.gz

My logrotate file:

#/var/log/application/*/server*.log.* {
  daily
  rotate 14
  compress
  delaycompress
  missingok
}

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

if you want your rotated log file to looks like -- > server.log.2023-03-16.gz just add

dateext
dateformat .%Y-%m-%d

to your logrotate file.
