Created attachment 450072 [details] logrotate config file for monit Monit can even over short time create large logfiles. It should come with a logrotate config file by default. Attached is an example that could go into files/ to be installed into /etc/logrotate.d/ by the ebuild. Additionally, here is a diff against the recent ebuild to make it install the new config file: --- monit-5.19.0.ebuild~ 2016-08-08 20:08:53.000000000 +0200 +++ monit-5.19.0.ebuild 2016-10-13 10:26:26.957347719 +0200 @@ -39,6 +39,8 @@ dodoc README + insinto /etc/logrotate.d + newins "${FILESDIR}"/monit.logrotate monit insinto /etc; insopts -m600; doins monitrc newinitd "${FILESDIR}"/monit.initd-5.0-r1 monit systemd_dounit "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}.service
Is there any reason why this isn't picked up? I still carry this as a local patch for my installations (which is certainly doable, but... why? :-).
Thanks!

After updating to latest monit I got these emails in my mailbox: error: stat of /var/log/monit.log failed: No such file or directory run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 Perhaps we should add "missingok" as I don't have these logs at all.
@Tomáš Mózes Regarding your comment: Can we open the bug again or should we open a new bug?
