Can yodeploy handle logrotate config for an app?

So we can stop doing chef pulls like this because when we changed the path a year ago we forgot to update logrotate.

Another when we fixed forgetting to add log files.

👍 , definitely sounds like a better way.

Agreed. And we can move logs to /var/log/yola at the same time :)

Logrotate has a .d, this sounds trivial.

If we were logging to /var/log/yola/, what about we just create 1 logrotate file that rotates /var/log/yola/*.log.
We could create a yola_base::logrotate recipe that creates /var/log/yola/ and the logrotate config on all machines.

We could create a yola_base::logrotate recipe that creates /var/log/yola/ and the logrotate config on all machines.

That's a cool idea, and it would be a good reason to move more app logs to /var/log/yola, but I still think yodeploy would benefit from this functionality. It would let us handle non-yola apps that we have deploy wrappers around such as graphite (which doesn't make sense logging to /var/log/yola).

Both are good points. Pragmatically, the wildcard is an obvious short-term winner.
