If you are then

sudo truncate -s 0 /var/log/logrotate/logrotate.log

is the quick fix.

`/var/log` is filling up again. https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/var-lo…g-filling-up-again/13808/ This is because the `logrotate.log` file is not being rotated! I have added a rotation spec into my `00_defaults` file to see what happens. Not sure how it will react to rotating itself. However, you need to ``` sudo truncate -s 0 /var/log/logrotate/logrotate.log ``` the file first otherwise the logrotate fails as there is not enough room to write the file. Will need to be added to the update script.
