#814 Provide log rotation for PKI debug logs
Closed: fixed Opened by mharmsen.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

This ticket was created in response to 'Bugzilla Bug #1035195 - PKI-CA doesn't provide a way to limit debug file at /var/log/pki-ca/debug'.

It appears that the PKI debug log facility utilizes a different infrastructure than the other PKI logging facilities which currently provide log rotation.

The reason that this logging infrastructure may have differed may have been due to a previous request to insure that a single debug log file could always be run against a 'tail -f' without concern of log roll over.

Regardless, however, log rotation should be made an optional feature of the PKI debug log.

This is very important: This created a 580MB log file on my system (with a 1.5G /var/log) before I realised. For old IPA installs, or old PKI installs this rotation is important to have.

This will be fixed in ticket #195.

Any chance this priority can be raised? The dogtag logs can be immense.

Best I can do is assign it to Milestone 10.6 (which will have your request in it).
