It all depends (a bit):
I'm adding logrotate support for my RA: As there will be multiple instances,
each using different log files, the RA creates a logrotate config file that
matches the configured instance upon "start" and removes it upon "stop". As I
did not want to use a built-in logrotate template, I put it in an external
file, letting the user customize it (a bit). Like maximum file size, frequency
of rotation, etc.

The current template looks like this:
# {__NOTE__}
{__LOGDIR__}/*.log {
        rotate 2
        nocreate
        size 1M
        #weekly
        #olddir {__LOGDIR__}/old
        missingok
        postrotate
                kill -HUP $(cat '{__PIDFILE__}')
        endscript
        delaycompress
        #nocompress
}

And I wondered where to put such files.  Currently I'm using
"/etc/ocf/<vendor>/<RA>/logrotate.in" which gives me kind of clean namespace.

Ulrich
