sometimes, after the logrotate the rsyslog is creating empty /var/log/message file and stops logging in to it. Only a service restart resumes the logging. a quick workaround i found was to add a line in the "logrotate" file in the /etc/cron.daily. the patch is following, <code> rm -f $TMPF +/usr/bin/systemctl reload rsyslog.service exit 0 </code> i could reproduce this issue by simply running the /etc/cron.daily/logrotate in command-line !
