Use of wildcards in logrotate causing duplication errors to be thrown

[emichellecarter]

When dsc is installed on the same instance as omi, the logrotate throws duplication errors due to the use of wildcards in the logrotate.conf file.

omi:2 duplicate log entry for /var/opt/omi/log/dscdetailed.log
found error in file omi, skipping

/etc/opt/omi/conf/omilogrotate.conf

/var/opt/omi/log/*.log /var/opt/omi/log/*.trc 
{
    # keep 5 worth of backlogs
    rotate 5

    # If the log file is missing, go on to the next one
    # without issuing an error message.
    missingok

    # Do not rotate the log if it is empty,
    # this overrides the ifempty option.
    notifempty

    # Old versions of log files are compressed with gzip by default.
    compress

    # Log files are rotated only if they grow bigger then 100M.
    size 100M

    # Truncate the original log file in place after creating a copy,
    # instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new one.
    copytruncate
}

/opt/microsoft/dsc/etc/logrotate.conf

/var/opt/omi/log/*.log {
	rotate 5
	sharedscripts
	weekly
	compress
	postrotate
		/opt/omi/bin/service_control restart
	endscript
}
/var/opt/omi/log/dscdetailed.log {
	rotate 5
	sharedscripts
	size 50M
	compress
}

@mcarter106 I think you should file it for dsc team or dsc repo.

@mcarter106 DSC got deprecated this September.

@mcarter106 BTW, are you using omsagent or dsc?
