Managing logrotate

[carlalexander]

I need to change logrotate to rotate the nginx logs daily. I know I can do that with debops.logrotate. That said, does it make sense to have the role manage its own logrotate configuration?

Definitely! debops.logrotate is designed to being used as a role dependency, evident by logrotate__dependent_config variable. It's just that the role is new, and no other role has configuration for it yet.

If you remember to divert the stock /etc/logrotate.d/* configuration files by adding item.divert: True to the configuration, you can easily replace the default configuration with your own.

Yeah, I'm doing that right now. I was just wondering if we should add that to debops.nginx?

[drybjed]

I suppose we could... You mean the logs in /var/log/nginx/, right?

Yep
