Logrotate throws the following error:
2212 error: error setting owner of /var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log-20150326 to uid 998 and gid 996: Operation not permitted
2213 error: error setting owner of /var/log/icinga2/error.log-20150326 to uid 998 and gid 996: Operation not permitted

And the logs do not get rotated, just 20 Byte-sized gz-files get created

According to the manpage of logrotate copytruncate and create are incompatible. When I remove the copytruncate-dircetive and run logrotate manually with logrotate --force I get the following error:
error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log of '/var/log/icinga2/icinga2.log /var/log/icinga2/debug.log '

But log-files get moved to a file called error.log.1 and icinga2.log.1 but are not getting zipped after running it manually.

My log-files reach back to January.

OS: CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)

Sorry, I was on vacation.
The problem still persists; my log grew already to 11GB since my "manual rotate" ca 3 weeks ago.

Are you able to reproduce this problem with 2.3.3.

icinga2 - The Icinga 2 network monitoring daemon (version: v2.3.3)

The logrotation would work if you define a size parameter. And the 'killall' command which is used in the postrotate, isn't installed as a default packages -> needs 'psmisc' packages
