Description of problem: In RHOSP16.1, libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu is not installed in overcloud image. Because of that /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd is not created in overcloud nodes and logs under /var/log/libvirt/qemu are never rotated. This means that the file can grow for example when many stop/start operation is executed. In addition, the file is never purged even after the instance is deleted. Because nova assigns a different id for each instances this would result in huge number of log files left. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy overcloud 2. Create and delete some instances 3. Check /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ after several days Actual results: The log files are not rotated and left Expected results: The log files are rotated and delete dafter a while Additional info:
