What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Upgrading from RHEL 8 to 9 logrotate.timer is not enabled by default.

In previous versions of RHEL 9 logrotate was controlled by cron.daily, and now it is controlled by systemd (logrotate.timer).

When upgrading from RHEL 8 to 9, the service is not enabled and the logs are not rotated.

There is nothing in the documentation that states that the service has to be enabled post-update.

If this is expected behavior, the documentation must be updated informing the steps to be carried out in the post-update.

1. systemctl enable --now logrotate.timer

   Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

leapp-0.16.0-2.el8.noarch.rpm

Steps and How reproducible:

1) Install RHEL 8;

2) # dnf install leapp-upgrade -y

3) # leapp preupgrade

4) # leapp upgrade --reboot

5) Wait for RHEL 9 to restart and type the command below.

1. systemctl status logrotate.timer

○ logrotate.timer - Daily rotation of log files
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer; disabled; preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
    Trigger: n/a
   Triggers: ● logrotate.service
       Docs: man:logrotate(8)
             man:logrotate.conf(5)

Expected results

The expected result is that it enables logrotate.timer as is the RHEL 9 installation default.

1. systemctl enable --now logrotate.timer

   Actual results

RHEL 9 has the logrotate feature disabled, causing problems with logs in our customers' environments.
