Hi, I've tried to remove the symlink for cpanel log rotation here: /var/cpanel/log_rotation/cp__apache__error_log.cpanellogd Which works fine, except that cPanel recreates it during upcp, and then our puppet run removes it again ;) Is there a better way to remove cpanel log rotation without using WHM? (we don't want to do that on multiple servers)

  Hello :) To clarify, do you simply want to disable log rotation through the command line like you would with "WHM Home " Service Configuration " cPanel Log Rotation Configuration", or is there a different goal you have? Thank you.

  Hi! Yes exactly Michael, I wish to disable it since we're doing logrotation by ourselves (using rsyslog to write to both remote syslog and to /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log).

  I'm setting up a Central Log Server right now. Did you have any reccomandation? I'm planning to just copy all the syslog to remote rsyslog server. Is it enought or do I have to take special care to some cpanel stuff i don't know?

  From what I can tell, you must use the WHM UI to exclude logs from rotation: "WHM Home " Service Configuration " cPanel Log Rotation Configuration" Please feel free to open a feature request for the ability to manipulate this setting through the command line. Thank you.
