Question regarding rotating logs of modsec

[albgen]

Hello dears,

i'm running modsec on latest nginx on centos7. The problem is that i cannot rotate the logs with logrotate.

My logrotate config file for modsec is the following:

/var/log/modsec_audit.log {
daily
rotate 7
missingok
compress
postrotate
[ ! -f /var/run/nginx.pid ] || kill -USR1 cat /var/run/nginx.pid
endscript
}

Hi @albgen,

libModSecurity is not implementing the support for kill -USR1. Try nginx reload instead.

To follow the development of this feature, keep an eye on this issue: #2304

i tried with the following config

/var/log/modsec_audit.log {
daily
rotate 7
missingok
compress
postrotate
/usr/sbin/nginx -s reload
endscript
}

but the result was the following which means the new log for the day is 0:
