Issue [17.5.3] Plesk for Linux logrotate issue: error_log not rotated

burnley

Regular Pleskian
Happy New Year :)

CentOS 7.4 with Plesk Version 17.5.3 Update #34, last updated on Dec 19, 2017 01:10 PM
Just created a new subscription in the panel on a hosting plan which has log rotation enabled in the Logs & Statistics tab with the following settings:
Log rotation condition: by size, 10240KB
Maximum number of log files: 10
Compress log files is checked

After creation I went and checked /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.d/ for the existence of the rotation file, it's missing. We've seen this problem on all our Plesk 17.5.3 servers. Bug?

There are already several articles published on this which refer to versions 10 to 12.5, nothing for 17.5.3:
Logs are no longer rotated properly on some subscriptions
error_log occupied too much space and was not rotated

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain --info adilogrotatetest1.local

The following command fixes the issue, as per one of your KB articles:

Why isn't the logrotate file created when creating the subscription?
