[Openstack-devel] Bug#736931: ceilometer: No logrotate post-rotate instruction

[Romain Chantereau]

Package: ceilometer
Version: 2013.2.1-3~bpo2012.04+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

ceilometer packages contains logrotate configuration fragments for produced log
files. I.E:

    # cat /etc/logrotate.d/ceilometer-collector
    /var/log/ceilometer/ceilometer-collector.log {
        daily
        missingok
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
    }

As there is no reload/restard to the process, the log file is never switched
and the rotated file is still used by the process (ie:  /var/log/ceilometer
/ceilometer-collector.log.1) until it is archived and deleted.

Perhaps a post-rotate action is needed ?

Thanks.
