How to change the name of log files every day

Hi,

We are using version 3 for freeradius

When we try to use the following statement in radiusd.conf                     "log" section
        requests = ${logdir}/radiusd-%{%{Virtual-Server}:-DEFAULT}-%Y%m%d.log

we get
       Cannot use deprecated configuration item "requests"

>From radiusd -C

We want to have this old functionality of rotating the log file each day and keeping the log name in the following format, as follows

        radiusd-default-20241124.log.gz
        radiusd-default-20241125.log.gz
        radiusd-default-20241126.log.gz

what can we put in the radiusd.conf "log" section to do this?

Or how can we accomplish this please?


Geoffrey
