No logrotate config for nova.log

[David Wittman]

The existing packaging does not contain any logrotate configurations for rotating /var/log/nova/nova.log. Can we just add a config for /var/log/nova/nova*.log, or should we continue to create individual logrotate files?

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
> Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
> Release: 12.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

Upon reviewing this, I've realized that /var/log/nova/nova.log is added to rsyslog as part of our deployment. We'll be handling the rotation of this file within our configuration management as well. I'll close this for now.
