[Kea-users] Kea dhcp log rotate

[Kristof Van Doorsselaere]

I have moved the logs to the /var/log/kea subdir instead of /var/log and logrotate started working, must have been permission related, the subdir is owned by user kea

Kind regards,
Kristof

Hi Kristof,

I do not see a problem with your log configuration. I have not heard
of any problems with log rotation in 2.4.1.  You might have a look
through your system logs and check if, perhaps, SELinux is getting in
the way of new file creation in that directory.  Also, you might check
permissions on /var/log/ to make sure that the user kea is running as
is permitted to write there.  Lastly, there might be something logged
in /var/log/kea-dhcp4.log about the failed rotation.

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
