logrotate fails on rotating some logs, citing 'insecure permissions' on parent directory
Issue
logrotate
fails to rotate some logs, displaying with the following error (in this example,nova
logs could not be rotated):
error: skipping "/var/log/nova/nova-api.log" because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.
- This can cause the root partition of the Director node to fill up, and can impact performance
