Subject: rottlog ignores the subdir structure
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2022 11:02:58 +0000

my service puts its log files into subdirs under /var/log/myservice/some-config/logfile.

i set up some rottlog-service-type and rottlog-configuration to rotate these log files, and to my surprise rottlog puts them under /var/log (ignoring the subdir structure).

is this a feature or a bug? if the former, could we change the default to put the rotated files into the same directory as the files being rotated?
