Fixed In Version: glusterfs-6.0-53; glusterfs-selinux-1.0-3
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, log file objects did not update the file handle after `logrotate` as the log file kept growing indefinitely. With this update, a different class is used to create the log file object which modifies the file handle after `logrotate` and the logs are written into the new file after logrotate operation. NOTE: The SELinux policies state that the default port requires elevated permissions. Therefore the default port used for the`eventsd` service is now 55555 which is in the ephemeral range. Users upgrading to the latest version must change to port number 55555 or any other port that is within the ephemeral range.

Description Daniel Milewski 2020-03-18 15:29:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
/var/log/glusterfs/events.log file written by the glustereventsd service isn't reopened after being rotated by logrotate. This obviously makes the log file grow indefinitely. I've looked through the code a little bit and apparently there is no way to make the service reopen the log file other than by restarting it. The log file is rotated by the configuration file /etc/logrotate.d/glusterfs provided in the glusterfs-fuse package.
