I think this should be happening by default but for some reason is not. rottlog-configuration uses as the default configuration (file-append rottlog "/etc/rc"), and that file does call for this extension to be added... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

For it to be appended to every rotated log file we need to add the line “storefile @FILENAME.@COMP_EXT” to /etc/rottlog/weekly, which specify the filename for the rotated log file[1][2]. At least that's what I understand after skimming through the documentation, I have send a patch[3] but it's untested.
