    NOTE:You must set SELinux either to disable mode or permissive mode on RHEL 8.

    NOTE:On Linux, logrotate utility handles the log rotation of catalina.out file. The log rotation configuration is stored in the netiq-tomcat file in /etc/logrotate.d directory. If logrotate is not scheduled to run daily, the logs are not rotated. NetIQ recommends you to rotate the logs at 12:00 a.m (midnight).

    If SELinux is configured to run in Enforcing mode, logrotate might not work as expected. To troubleshoot, run the following command:

    semanage fcontext -a -t var_log_t '/var/opt/novell/tomcat/logs(/.*)?'
restorecon -Frvv /var/opt/novell/tomcat/logs
