Workaround if engine.log is too large, run following command: logrotate --force /etc/logrotate.d/ovirt-engine Normally, linux logrotate runs once a day (by a cronjob), and is not size based (it has a minsize that tell logrotate the minimal size of log file to rotate). It looks like we're using the mechanism as intended, so I'm not sure why you wrote "Expected results: engine.log should rotate when log reached 10Mb" Why do you think that's the expected behaviour? Per bug#948481, ovirt-engine is now well behaved component, this means that logrotate is in charge of rotating log instead of proprietary rotation. It has many advantages, such as sysadmin to know what and how to change log rotation without digging into application, and at application side it reduces the need to maintain rotation logic and configuration. The disadvantage is that by default logrotation is executed once a day. On busy systems, log rotation can be executed in higher intervals, this is up to sysadmin to configure.
