Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2013-03-04 07:49:09 UTC

Please note that Spacewalk does not ship httpd nor tomcat* so if their logs are not rotated, there's something wrong with the logrotate or whatever log-rotation service you are using on your system. We configure logrotate to rotate stuff in /var/log/rhn but if logrotate is not enabled, there's not much Spacewalk can do.

Closing as NOTABUG in Spacewalk.
