@srfraser can you comment on this? I believe it might be related to PR #87

[sparrc]

looks like PR #87 wasn't complete, we shouldn't have merged that, I'm going to create a new PR to revert it

[srfraser]

Apologies, I must have missed the actual logrotate config file - it's in my own copy. A simple option would be to add etc/logrotate.d/telegraf, containing something like

/var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log
{
rotate 6
daily
missingok
notifempty
compress
}

no problem @srfraser, my fault for merging it, if you want to send up another PR with the necessary file I'd be happy to re-merge it!
