Description Marcus West 2016-10-07 07:02:18 UTC

## Description of problem:

vdsm.log is not being rotated.  This host is a day old and currently at 1.8Gb

## Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

vdsm-4.18.13-1.el7ev.x86_64
rhvh-4.0-0.20160919.0

## How reproducible:

seems to be always

## Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to latest rhvh (4.0
2. check if vdsm.log is rotation

## Actual results:

vdsm.log never rotates

## Expected results:

vdsm.log should rotate same as before (every 4 hours?)

## Additional info:

The logrotate config is there, but doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I noticed that crond.service is disabled by default.  Is this required, or are logs rotated differently now?

It seems crond is not active on RHVH.
