It feels like this setting would be clearer using start or startup instead of open. I don't think it's obvious to the user what open means here.
I'm OK with using open internally (rotator already uses open for this concept).

good point, changed open -> startup everywhere (I'd rather use the same name internally so it's easy to find)
that push was a squashed merge of all the original commits (because some of them were committed without the right email address, so the CLA checker wouldn't let them through)... it looks like the build itself is segfaulting, it may be refusing to rerun on something with no binary changes from previous run? is there a way to try it again? |
I squash all the time and the build kicks again just fine. There might be a problem with this particular test under Windows. Can you check? There's a couple of Windows boxes in {beats}/Vagrantfile.
You comment: jenkins, test this |

I (believe I) fixed the problem with the windows unit test. travis-ci is still failing, but it's been failing on everything for the last couple days (and none of the failures look real); beats-ci is happy now, so this is ready for final review :-) |
* Add the `logging.files.rotateonopen` option (elastic#11537) * Rename rotateonopen -> rotateonstartup * Commenting out part of the rotator test to troubleshoot on Windows * test troubleshooting * updating x-pack/winlogbeat docs * troubleshooting unit test on windows * troubleshooting windows unit tests * Candidate fix for unit test
Adds the
logging.files.rotateonopenfile and correspondingFileConfig.RotateOnOpenflag, controlling whether existing log files are rotated on startup or appended to.Resolves #11537.
