Comment 1 Matthias Runge 2014-06-24 10:57:24 UTC

thank you, this is true.

Question is: is this something to be configured by packstack/puppet modules or via packaging?

Comment 3 Ido Ovadia 2014-06-26 11:45:13 UTC

Since the file can be huge, opening it from Horizon --> Redhat Access --> Logs 

can take very long time

Comment 4 Matthias Runge 2014-09-09 09:38:06 UTC

adding a file named openstack-dashboard to
/etc/logrotate.d containing:

/var/log/horizon/*.log /var/log/httpd/horizon_*.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    missingok
    compress
    minsize 100k
}


should fix this.

Comment 6 Matthias Runge 2015-02-16 08:34:13 UTC

a fix for this was added for rhos-6 release

Comment 7 Matthias Runge 2015-02-26 08:23:39 UTC

Um, clarifying here: A fix was added very early in RHOS-6 development cylce for  python-django-horizon package.

Esp. this is included in the version mentioned above.

Comment 8 Matthias Runge 2015-03-12 11:29:22 UTC

also backported to rhos 5: python-django-horizon-2014.1.3-5.el7ost
