Hi!
I'm finding it difficult to get log rotation working cleanly with
twistd (if dropping privileges through twistd, which we require).
I went through all the docs and also found [1] very helpful, but the
problem boils down to the fact that
Implications for Logfile Rotation
Using the configuration described here, the LOGFILE will be created as
user "root" and group "root", but rotated as user UID and group GID.
If you want rotation to work as advertised it is necessary to put the
LOGFILE in a directory in which UID/GID has permissions to rename
files.
and
def rotate(self):
"""
Rotate the file and create a new one.
If it's not possible to open new logfile, this will fail
silently,
and continue logging to old logfile.
"""
if not (os.access(self.directory, os.W_OK) and
os.access(self.path, os.W_OK)):
return
(twisted 14.0.0)
will never work together. Even if the user twistd runs as is
technically able to rename the log file (due to having write
permissions on the directory), it will never try to since it can't
write to the file.
There is a workaround on a comment in [1] but that's a really
unnecessary and hacky solution, IMHO.
Is this a known bug?
Sounds like https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5723
