A workaround.
Have/Had the same issue.
As the logrotate is executed by the daily cronjob, I modified
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate to the following:
-
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate -s /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$
Same issue here with rsyslog and logrotate on many ubuntu 16.04 servers.

I see the same issue in Ubuntu 14.04. reload rsyslog doesn't write to
new log file but the old one only.

I'm seeing something similar with 14.04 since upgrading from 12.04 only
in this case, I'm still getting kernel messages written to the logs
however nothing else is until I force a restart of rsyslog. File

Hi,
I don't know if it can help but I've a similar bug which involves restarting
Rsyslog.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bits with Rsyslog 8.16-0-1ubuntu3 on two kind of
hardware:
- docker-machine
- AWS EC2
I noticed that on servers that don't use systemd -- in this case docker-
machine -- using
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Can confirm that invoke-rc.d does not work.
root@server:~# invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate
initctl: invalid command: rotate
Try `initctl --help' for more information.
invoke-rc.d: initscript rsyslog, action "rotate" failed.
However, service does work.
root@server:~# service rsyslog
Correction: "But in general postrotate commands don't seem to be executed at
all."
Yes it does work, phew. But the command "invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate" is wrong
as it doesn't work:
# invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate
initctl: invalid command: rotate
Try `initctl --help' for more information.
invoke-rc
Can confirm the same behavior on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Log files are rotated
by logrotate but postrotate command doesn't seem to work.
ls -ltr /var/log | tail
-rw-r- 1 syslog adm 0 Aug 19 06:42 kern.log
-rw-rw 1 root utmp0 Sep 1 06:49 btmp.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root
I'm seeing the same issue as @Chesler #20.
On Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. Log files are created but logging keeps going in
the rotated file. ie: Auth.log.1 until rsyslog is restarted.

I'm also seeing this issue on 14.04.3 LTS and 14.04.4 LTS. In my case,
"/sbin/reload rsyslog" does not cause rsyslog to reopen the file handles
and it instead continues writing to the rotated files, e.g.
/var/log/syslog.1 until explicitly restarted.

I can confirm the bug on 14.04.4 LTS using rsyslog and logrotate.
/var/log/syslog and others are not empty and being filled ok, but other
logfiles are empty, e.g. /var/log/samba/*, /var/log/mysql.*,
/var/log/alternatives.log

I also can confirm adding "create 640 syslog adm" to
/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog fixes the problem.
@Gustavo, you should change the /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog file from this:
/var/log/syslog
{
rotate 7
daily
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
Should "create 640 syslog adm" be inserted right before the reload
statement?

I can confirm the same bug on precise server. After logrotate
/var/log/syslog is root:root and I syslog does not log anymore. Multiple
restarts fixes the issue.
On the other hand it works just fine on soucy server for me.

One of the forum mods (and likely of other official roles) over at the
rsyslog.com knowledge-base suggests in this relatively recent thread:
http://kb.monitorware.com/local-file-logging-stopped-t11391.html
.. that this condition is likely reflecting a per-distribution,
implementation-specific pro
Looking back through the rotated "syslog" I noticed that the PID of
rsyslogd hasn't changed when it was HUPed:
Aug 21 03:57:00 hush rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.11"
x-pid="2647" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] start
Aug 21 03:57:00 hush rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid chan
After reading "man initctl --reload" I wonder if this is caused if for
some reason the 'rsyslogd' process has died/stopped during logrotate and
therefore a new instance is started by dbus-daemon which (initially?)
inherits the dbus-daemon owner credentials?

This seems to be caused by the logrotate configuration for rsyslog using
the system dbus-daemon. Here's the representative example for
"/var/log/syslog":
/var/log/syslog

notifempty

This affects the current development track for Saucy.
I have a minimal server install of 64-bit 13.10 and since logrotate ran
at 0630 there have been no updates to any log files. Restarting rsyslog
hasn't improved things. some log files seem to be owned by
"messagebus:adm", rsylog is user "syslo
adding a line "create 640 syslog adm" in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog (in
the two blocks) resolves the permission issue for me (Ubuntu 12.04)

I'm also seeing this on a 12.04 minimal install. After logrotate runs,
when syslog stops being written to, here's what my /var/log directory
looks like:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3721 Oct 11 16:11 alternatives.log
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 21 22:02 apt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root
Happens on 12.04 VMs, only sometimes. The systems stops logging and
logging only resumes with a restart of rsyslogd.
Rsyslog and logrotate are up to date.
