Package: apcupsd Version: 3.14.14-1 Severity: normal Hi there!
I have just noticed the following. My /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf has the lines: EVENTSFILE /var/log/apcupsd.events EVENTSFILEMAX 10 (as in the default), but in spite of this, the log file has grown to >62k lines, > 3.5MB in size. The first entries are self-test dating back to 2014, and the last entries are from today. So the log file is neither being rotated nor cropped.
