[Fedora-directory-users] FDS log management - bug?

[Andrey Ivanov]

I don't know whether it's a feature or a bug :)  I have the following  
configuration for the log management :

nsslapd-accesslog-logging-enabled: on
nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir: 365
nsslapd-accesslog-mode: 600
nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsize: 120
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime: 1
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit: day
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsync-enabled: on
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsynchour: 0
nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationsyncmin: 0
nsslapd-accesslog: /Logs/Ldap/access

nsslapd-accesslog-logmaxdiskspace: 50000
nsslapd-accesslog-logexpirationtime: 12
nsslapd-accesslog-logexpirationtimeunit: month
nsslapd-accesslog-logminfreediskspace: 2000

It means, essentially, that the logs are rotated once a day at  
midnight (or if the file is larger than 120Mb) and that i keep them  
for 1 year.

If i don't set the log rotation time (logrotationsynchour and  
logrotationsyncmin) everything is ok, the logs are rotated once a day  
and then they are kept for the necessary time period.
However when i set this rotation time the server deletes ALL the logs  
but the current and the last one. That is, after each rotation i have  
the current log (the file 'access') and the previous one (yesterday's  
log, like access.20070811-000030). All the oher log files are deleted.

So if i want to keep the logs i need to copy them to a different place  
by a cron script which is not very elegant :)

So, is it a bug or a feature? :)
