@lguohan could you please approve this fix? |

i think we will have issue when disk size is small, can this be a template? keep 1M for disk size /var/log partition less than 200MB. |

@dgsudharsan Do we need any 'default' configuration before the logrotate config was rendered? Have you confirmed that the next logrotate will pick up the new config after rendering? Can you also add a sonic-mgmt test for this? |
Yes I tested this scenario logrotate picks up after rendered. Its only few seconds difference between cron and rendering.
Regarding sonic-mgmt, I don't think there are any test cases although the suite covers logrotate as a utility for all existing tests. |

@dgsudharsan thanks for the details. Yes please track a different effort and add a sonic-mgmt test. |

Why I did it The existing log file size in sonic is 1 Mb. Over a period of time this leads to huge number of log files which becomes difficult for monitoring applications to handle. Instead of large number of small files, the size of the log file is not set to 16 Mb which reduces the number of files over a period of time. How I did it Changed the size parameter and related macros in logrotate config for rsyslog How to verify it Execute logrotate manually and verify the limit when the file gets rotated.

…12599) - Why I did it Fix logrotate firstaction script to reflect correct size. The size was modified to change dynamically based on disk size. However this variable was not updated #9504 - How I did it Updated the variable based on disk size - How to verify it Verify in the generated rsyslog file if the variable is correctly generated from jinja template
