Title:
  logrotate script definition forces application restart

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  New
Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We are running into issues in Canonical OpenStack where apache2 is
  used for the API services such as Nova and everyday at midnight the
  logrotate script runs and reloads apache2 forcing the services to
  restart, causing disruption and side-effects such as half-completed
  volume attachment calls leaving resources dangling/orphaned.

  This is the line in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 that causes issue:

  invoke-rc.d apache2 reload 2>&1 | logger -t apache2.logrotate

  In the apache2 source package it is in debian/apache2.logrotate so I
  believe this is an issue with this package customization since 2004 in
  commit d965556aa of the ubuntu package source.
