Getting started

Install Logrotate from the Visual Studio Marketplace or Open VSX. The extension supports Visual Studio Code desktop, remote extension hosts, and vscode.dev.

Try a configuration

Open a recognized file or create logrotate.conf. This small configuration is enough to try the editor support:

/var/log/application.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    compress
}

Explore editor support

Move the cursor over a directive to read its description. Run Trigger Suggest to see directives valid at the cursor.

Misspell a directive to see a diagnostic in the editor and the Problems view. Run Quick Fix when a safe correction is available.

Run Format Document to normalize configuration indentation and spacing. Text inside prerotate, postrotate, firstaction, lastaction, and preremove blocks is preserved exactly.

Project filenames

If the project uses an unusual filename, add a Visual Studio Code file association. The recognized files page shows the narrow defaults and the association syntax.
