Rotating custom log file

I have a log file setup in my system that captures logs from an iRule (using syslog-ng include file). I want to rotate the file on an hourly basis while keeping the other log files rotation the same (which is daily right now). I looked around and tried to implement a solution the following article:

I created a new log file under /etc with the following in it:

 

 

rotate log files daily

 

hourly

 

 

logrotate_enhance controls the log files life cycle

 

rotate 24

 

 

create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones

 

create

 

 

compress

 

compresscmd /usr/bin/nicegzip

 

 

w3c log rotation

 

/var/log/w3c {

 

hourly

 

compress

 

missingok

 

notifempty

 

}

 

 

Then I copied the logrotate script from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.hourly and changed the logrotate.conf to my new config file (contents shown above). This does not seem to work. Is this the right way to accomplish my task?
