Modify /etc/rsyslog.conf so that you have this line:

Code: Select all

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                /var/log/messages
Depending on what you want to do with the cron messages, you could add something like this:

Code: Select all

# Log cron to its own log
cron.*                                                 /var/log/cron.log
Create the file /etc/logrotate.d/cronlog
/var/log/cronlog {
compress
create 0644 root root
daily
dateext
ifempty
rotate 7
shred
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP crond 2>/dev/null || true
endscript
Restart rsyslog for your changes to take effect:

Code: Select all

systemctl restart rsyslog

Appears to be a common problem. Only fix I have found is to run the command "/usr/bin/systemd-analyze set-log-level notice". You will also need to add it to /etc/rc.local so it takes effect at each boot. If you have not already done so you will also need to enable that file (as specified in the instructions in the top of it) by running "chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local".
