Chef server does not rotate NGINX logs

[tas50]

These logs get huge pretty quick and eventually the server crashes when the root drive fills up. Even if you stick them on a larger data drive you can still fill up that drive causing logging to halt. This seems like a really big oversight that should get fixed asap.

@tas50 Thanks for this report. I'm going to make a note that this works in the Chef 12 server (as seen here: https://github.com/opscode/opscode-omnibus/blob/master/files/private-chef-cookbooks/private-chef/recipes/nginx.rb#L171), which is where our focus is. I'm not sure that we'll fix this in the Chef 11 server.

Chef 12 server is currently in RC, but we hope to get the final release out soon.

Thanks for the fix in 12. It'd be great to get this in 11. I imagine a lot of people will continue to run that release for a while.

Sure, that makes sense. It's a resource and focus issue for us at this point, so I'm not sure when we'll get to it. If you happen to be able to get a PR in I'll merge it down so it goes out with the next 11 release we do, although I'm not sure when that will be at the moment. If you don't get a PR, that's all right too. Thanks for pointing this out to us.
