1193037 - hgweb1 isn't logging to /var/log/hg.log

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

hgweb1.dmz.scl3 isn't logging to /var/log/hg.log. I'm not sure what is or isn't going on.

The serverlog extension is installed and should be producing syslog messages to local2. Not sure why /var/log/hg.log isn't being updated.

FWIW, I touched /var/log/hg.log a few minutes ago to see if the missing file was the cause of the problem. It obviously wasn't.

weird. I tried HUP'ing rsyslogd, but that didn't appear to do anything though it should have. 'service rsyslogd restart' and it's logging now.

I should have tried that. Doh. I guess we should modify Ansible to restart rsyslogd when it touches rsyslog config files. I'll code this up real quick.

hgweb1 wasn't logging to hg.log after it was freshly provisioned. It
appears rsyslogd needs to be restarted to pick up new config files.
Sending a SIGHUP doesn't appear to work :/
