Description of problem: Default installations of graphite-web have files in /var/log/graphite-web that get corrupted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): graphite-web-0.9.12-1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Enable rendering logs, wait a day, view logs, see some data is missing, and two files are being written to. Additional info: Deleting /etc/logrotate.d/graphite-web avoids the problem by letting graphite-web's internal log-rotator be in charge of log rotation. I think this is the only solution until graphite-web supports disabling log rotation. Support for external log rotation was added to carbon 0.9.11, but it does not seem to be in the current version of graphite-web. I believe this problem also exists in the released 0.9.10 packages, so I don't think this should hold up the CVE-2013-5093 fix in bug #1000064.
Thanks for the bug report. This log rotate was added to satisfy the original review request. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849379#c9 If these logs are being rotated by graphite-web I can remove the logrotate file in a future update. I will need to research the most appropriate way to remove this file.
Created attachment 805671 [details] patch to stop using logrotate This is the patch I'm using to stop using logrotate. If /etc/logrotate.d/graphite-web has been modified it gets renamed to graphite-web.rpmsave. If it has not been modified it gets removed. I'm not aware of a better way to handle this.
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=468669 includes these changes but I will be holding off on issuing an update to -testing until the currently pending updates are promoted to stable. I also agree that if an admin modified file is still loaded by logrotate that should be the expected behaviour, even if it's from a .rpmsave.
