Description of problem: While checking that logs in /var/log/rhn/reposync/ are under logrotate control, I have found only rule indicating that they are not - but I'm not completely sure and I'll check later if they really do not get rotated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Galactica: Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20100827.0-x86_64-embedded-oracle.iso spacewalk-backend-tools-1.2.8-1.el5sat How reproducible: see on 1 satellite Steps to Reproduce: 1. # ls /var/log/rhn/reposync/ pok-aaa-2010.09.03-08:08:32.log pok-aaa-2010.09.03-08:42:24.log pok-aaa-2010.09.03-09:00:09.log 2. # grep -R reposync /etc/logrotate.d/* /etc/logrotate.d/spacewalk-backend-tools:/var/log/rhn/reposync/reposync.log { Actual results: It looks like only /var/log/rhn/reposync/reposync.log (which do not exist) is rotated. Expected results: Maybe this should be in the config: - /var/log/rhn/reposync/reposync.log { + /var/log/rhn/reposync/*.log {
Please note this might be important if somebody would be syncing lot of repositories often. On my test Galactica I already have thet directory 6.7 MB big: # du -hs /var/log/rhn/reposync/ 6.7M /var/log/rhn/reposync/
i added the wildcard *.log to catch the new log files based off our changes: log_filename = options.channel_label + '-' + datestr + '.log' we might want to tweak the rotate values. currently we are rotating after 5 iterations or when the file gets to 10M. Open for suggestions.
