RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Jiří Vymazal 2019-12-03 08:48:32 UTC 
Thank you for reporting this.

Closing this now as renaming the file could cause backwards compatibility problems for some users and for those who wish use more log daemons simultaneously there is easy workaround in renaming the file themselves before installation of other log packages. If you want you can clone this bug for EPEL and ask syslog-ng maintainer to rename their file, as rsyslog needs to retain this file from support perspective (syslog-ng is not officially supported in RHEL).
Comment 4 Peter Czanik 2020-07-05 14:06:31 UTC 
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1802165

I kept the name for lograte in the syslog-ng pacage, but made it a subpackage conflicting with rsyslog. This way package management is happy, those who depend on the current naming are happy, and in case of two syslog applicactions you need to manually configure logrotate anyway.

It should reach EPEL soon (or about 1.5 weeks, if nobody gives karma)
