    Description

      Description of problem:

      Description of problem:
      The startup script for ovnkube-master container starts ovn-nbctl daemon that logs to ovn-nbctl.log file[1]. However, apart from tailing it, nothing is done with that file. Concretely, it is never rotated.
      Recently, one 4.8 cluster has hit the situation where this file grew up to ~24GB size. It was necessary to manually remove that file and restart ovnkube-master.
      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      4.8. It seems that 4.10 can hit this problem as well[2] but latest master branch has changed so much that I am not sure if it will be possible for this to happen in 4.11.
      How reproducible:
      Always (but may take very long and requires no ovnkube-master container restart)
      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Let /run/ovn/ovn-nbctl.log grow for long enough
      Actual results:
      File growing without control
      Expected results:
      Log file to be eventually rotated.
