I just installed brandnew logstash 5.0 beta1 but it seem that package does not include the logrotate script. ``` [root@BS-POC-Test-Env logstash]# yum install logstash Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package logstash.noarch 1:5.0.0~beta1-1 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ========================================================================================================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ========================================================================================================================================================= Installing: logstash noarch 1:5.0.0~beta1-1 elasticsearch-5.x 101 M Transaction Summary ========================================================================================================================================================= Install 1 Package Total download size: 101 M Installed size: 189 M Is this ok [y/d/N]: y Downloading packages: logstash-5.0.0-beta1.rpm | 101 MB 00:00:16 Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded Running transaction Installing : 1:logstash-5.0.0~beta1-1.noarch 1/1 **chmod: cannot access ‘/etc/logrotate.d/logstash’: No such file or directory** Using provided startup.options file: /etc/logstash/startup.options Successfully created system startup script for Logstash Verifying : 1:logstash-5.0.0~beta1-1.noarch 1/1 Installed: logstash.noarch 1:5.0.0~beta1-1 Complete!

Logstash 5 uses log4j for the logging and I believe the idea is to use its built-in rotation feature. Have a look at /etc/logstash/log4j2.properties. > ---

@magnusbaeck So should I just ignore the error for now? ---

It's not an error. You don't need any logrotate configuration in Logstash 5. ---

I meant by error message which appears during the package installation. ` **chmod: cannot access ‘/etc/logrotate.d/logstash’: No such file or directory** ` ---
