WA access logs

I am setting up a new deployment of some WA's and was surprised at the lack of any options to manage the access logs. In poking around, I see there's a cron that runs hourly to logrotate at 10MB size....

well, as I suspected: installing the hotfix collides with the previously mentioned change. You end up with duplicate definitions and an error:


[root@webacc01:Active] tmp  logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/wa 
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/wa
reading config info for /var/log/wa/access/*.log /var/log/wa/pvacLog_8081 
reading config info for /var/log/wa/stats/*.log /var/log/wa/stats/system/*.log 
reading config info for /var/log/wa/stats/perfmonitor/*.log 
error: /etc/logrotate.d/wa:26 duplicate log entry for /var/log/wa/access/access_log_web_si_v127.log

Waiting for guidance from support on how to back out the previous changes. Although at this point, I'd prefer to keep my custom access log rotation schedule and remove /var/log/wa/access/* from the default. I'll post solution here when I get it.
