Comment 0 for bug 1356211

Cannot collect rotated syslog.1 or syslog.2.gz by sosreport. If syslog is rotated daily, syslog only contains logs in less than 24 hours.

I expect sosreport collects syslog and syslog.1 to see logs at least for 24 hours. Or it would be nice if sosreport has options to switch to collect old logs or not.
