Thanks for the added in-depth analysis Rodrigo. I'll close out the apache2 task for now, feel free to reopen it if further discoveries suggest changes needed there.
Based on past experience tinkering with the apache2 reload/graceful command API, it gets tricky since with it supporting both systemd and apachectl for managing the server system processes even slight changes in behavior of one or the other can break a lot of users that have their own styles of usage. So if we consider adjustments to apache2 we need to be super cautious and very, very broad in testing plans. ** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2106500 Title: logrotate script definition forces application restart Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): New Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: We are running into issues in Canonical OpenStack where apache2 is used for the API services such as Nova and everyday at midnight the logrotate script runs and reloads apache2 forcing the services to restart, causing disruption and side-effects such as half-completed volume attachment calls leaving resources dangling/orphaned. This is the line in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 that causes issue: invoke-rc.d apache2 reload 2>&1 | logger -t apache2.logrotate In the apache2 source package it is in debian/apache2.logrotate so I believe this is an issue with this package customization since 2004 in commit d965556aa of the ubuntu package source.
