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.

Description of problem:
logging uses
- name: Purge original conf
file:
state: absent
path: "{{ __rsyslog_config_dir }}/*"
trying to remove all files in the config directory - but this does not work -
the ansible file module does not support wildcards, nor is there a way to tell the file module to remove all files in a directory _without also removing the directory_.
The recommended solution is to use `shell` with the `rm` command - `shell` will expand the wildcard as desired.

QE - for verification, you should use ansible-playbook -vv with one of the tests/tests_*.yml files - you should see output like this:
TASK [/home/rmeggins/linux-system-roles/logging/roles/rsyslog : Purge original conf] ***
task path: /home/rmeggins/linux-system-roles/logging/roles/rsyslog/tasks/main.yml:86
changed: [/var/lib/libvirt/images/f34-base.qcow2] => {
"changed": true,
"cmd": "set -euo pipefail\nrm -rfv /etc/rsyslog.d/*\n",
"delta": "0:00:00.003040",
"end": "2021-08-06 18:02:23.765563",
"rc": 0,
"start": "2021-08-06 18:02:23.762523"
}
STDOUT:
removed '/etc/rsyslog.d/21-cloudinit.conf'
... other files ...
The files removed may be different, depending on which test you run - the important thing is that you see files being removed
