** Description changed: In Ubuntu 20.04, with `tomcat9-9.0.31-1ubuntu0.1` (latest) package, `logrotated` is not able to write to `/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out` This could be fixed in a newer package but was not backported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1861881 In Ubuntu 22.04, with `tomcat9-9.0.58-1` (latest) package, `logrotated` is not able to rotate `/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out` Because the `catalina.out` is created with `syslog:adm` ownerships. `syslog` user does not have enough permissions to change this. This causes following error: rsyslogd: error during config processing: omfile: chown for file '/var/log/tomcat9/catalina.out' failed: Operation not permitted [v8.2112.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2207 ] At the same time, the `/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat9` has `su tomcat adm` directive. Therefore the `logrotated` is not able to truncate the `/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out` - This causes logrotate to copy the contents of - `/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out` to as if it would be rotated. As - `catalina.out` is never truncated, each rotated file ends up having the - contents of `catalina.out` from the beginning of the tomcat - installation. This causes the log sizes to keep increasing as no actual - log rotation is being done. + This causes logrotate to copy the contents of `/var/log/tomcat/catalina.out` to as if it would be rotated.
