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: ovirt-node-2.5.0-17.el6_4.6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The log rotation configuration stored in the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog file was not correctly set up to rotate the /var/log/messages file. As a result the /var/log/messages file was deleted instead of rotated when the log rotation cron job ran. The /etc/logrotate.d/syslog file has been updated to correctly configure log rotation for the /var/log/messages file.

Comment 5 wanghui 2013-07-03 08:38:36 UTC 
This bug has been fixed in ovirt-node-2.5.0-17.el6_4.6.noarch(rhev-hypervisor6-6.4-20130702.0.el6_4.noarch.rpm).

Test steps:
1. Clean install rhev-hypervisor6-6.4-20130702.0.el6_4.
2. Check the /etc/cron.d/ovirt-logrotate file and the output as follows.
   */10 * * * * root /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
3. Run for a while.
4. Change the system date to one week later.
5. Reboot the host.
6. Check in /var/log.

Results:
After step6, there is another rotated messages file in /var/log.

So the bug is fixed in this build. Change the status from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
