    Try with: 

    logrotate --force $CONFIG_FILE

    or you can run it in verbose and force mode:

    logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.conf

  2. You can run logrotate in debug mode which will tell you what it would do without actually making changes.

    -d, --debug

    Turns on debug mode and implies -v. In debug mode, no changes will be made to the logs or to the logrotate state file.
