Swift logs end up in /var/log/messages

[Christian Schwede]

Recent overcloud images seem to be more lightweight, and the openstack-swift-*.rpms are no longer installed. However, these rpms created an entry in /etc/rsyslog.d/openstack-swift.conf, which ensures that Swift logs are actually written to /var/log/swift/swift.log

This file is now missing, and thus logs mess up /var/log/messages.

I'm proposing to add a host_prep_task to re-add this file before deploying a Swift service.

It seems the logrotate configs may be also missing. Is this issue limited to swift rpms only?..

[Bogdan Dobrelya (bogdando)]

I wonder if we need to open a more generic issue for replacing openstack services rpm with containers? Aside of rsyslog/logrotate config theres could be also policy/RBAC files missing and whatnot?..
