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.

Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.12.0-1.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `logging_purge_confs` option no longer fails to delete unnecessary configuration files Previously, the `logging_purge_confs` variable was prepared to delete unnecessary logging configuration files, but failed to clean them up. Consequently, even though the `logging_purge_confs` variable was set to true, unnecessary configuration files were not cleaned up, but left in the configuration directory. This issue is now fixed and the `logging_purge_confs` variable has been redefined to work as follows. * If `logging_purge_confs` is set to `true`, it removes files in `rsyslog.d` which do not belong to any rpm packages. That includes configuration files generated by the previous `logging` role run. The `logging_purge_confs` default value is `false`.
