Currently, proxies are using the default fedora logrotate config for syslog files:
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler { missingok sharedscripts postrotate /usr/bin/systemctl reload rsyslog.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || true endscript }
I'd like to change that to use the same as we currently use for pagure: ./roles/pagure/files/syslog-logrotate
This will keep 7 days of logs, but xz compress them and rotate daily. We don't need more than that on there since they are moved to a central log host anyhow, and we want to save space on proxies because they are all space constrained.
I think that the log copying script may need patching if it looks for .gz files and they are no longer there, but that is the only other thing I can think of.
My understanding was that the log copying part only did httpd logs? I might be mistaken tho, so thats something to check for sure.
... it does ... geez I really have forgotten how things were set up.

@aheath1992 Any news here?
@kevin Are we good to close this issue?
There was one last thing which I sadly missed in looking at it.
We copied the new file in as rsyslog-logrotate (the name of the file in ansible). Unfortunately, that meant that logrotate had a 'rsyslog' (the stock one) and 'rsyslog-logrotate', so it errored out with duplicate files specificed. ;)
I just pushed a quick fix to overwrite the default one and we should be good now.
I think it might make sense to keep this open and check tomorrow that the proxies really did rotate as we like, and then close it. ;)
This seems to be working as expected now. Thanks!
