[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1396) Logs disappearing on broctl restart

[Daniel Thayer (JIRA)]

Daniel Thayer commented on BIT-1396:
------------------------------------

I don't believe there is really anything new here (the way logs get archived
hasn't really changed since at least Bro 2.0), but for the next release
I'd like to change the way logs are archived to make the whole procedure
more robust and less confusing to the user (perhaps broctld could play
a role in this).  I've added a small section to the broctl user manual
describing how a user could deal with this situation (hopefully that will
clear up some of the confusion).

> Noticed that on certain restarts of bro-2.4-beta, logs arbitrarily disappear.
> Restarts happen as
> - broctl check; broctl restart
> - broctl check; broctl restart --clean
> - broctl restart
> or some variant - not precisely sure. But all log files for that duration of restarts are missing
