I get this error with log rotation a verify config does not show any error

 

[root@f5-lb-dmz-1:Active:In Sync] images # logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
error: could not change directory to '.'error: syslog-ng:70 unknown option 'var' -- ignoring line
error: syslog-ng:74 unexpected }
error: found error in file syslog-ng, skipping

 

looking into the syslog-ng config file i see this

 

70 # local0.none,local2.none;local4.none;local5.none;local6.none \
     71 #                                               /var/log/messages
     72 filter f_notLocal0 {
     73    not facility(local0);
     74 };

 

I have a open case with F5 support for this log rotate issue
