Description Eric Smith 2024-05-07 14:42:48 UTC

Description of problem:
The default logrotate entry for /var/log/ceph/cephadm.log is insufficient. In its default configuration, the log file can grow to many gigabytes in size.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
"IBM Storage Ceph 6" Release 20

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy Ceph with cephadm
2. Wait a week
3. 

Actual results:
/var/log/ceph/cephadm.log grows exponentially and never gets rotated

Expected results:
/var/log/ceph/cephadm.log gets rotated at least once a week?? once a day perhaps?
