** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
-  When one enables max_age_days on /etc/libvirt/virtlogd.conf, for
+  When one enables max_age_days on /etc/libvirt/virtlogd.conf, for
  example by setting it to max_age_days = 1, the log files are not rotated
  correctly and we see this error on virtlogd:
  
-  
  [Test Case]
  
  1) Launch a couple of dummy VMs to ensure that there are some logs in 
/var/log/libvirt
  2) Edit /etc/libvirt/virtlogd.conf and ensure that the max_age_days setting 
is uncommented as per the following:
-    max_age_days = 1
- 3) Wait 24 hours. (There is no way to accelerate the timer unless one edits 
the source code)
- 4) Verify that logs are cleaned up and there are no errors in syslog or 
virtlogd journal like the following:
-    Feb 28 08:58:57 dixie virtlogd[7205]: internal error: Failed to parse 
rotated index from ''
+    max_age_days = 1
+ 3) sudo systemctl restart virtlogd
+ 4) Wait 24 hours. (There is no way to accelerate the timer unless one edits 
the source code)
+ 5) Verify that logs are cleaned up and there are no errors in syslog or 
virtlogd journal like the following:
+    Feb 28 08:58:57 dixie virtlogd[7205]: internal error: Failed to parse 
rotated index from ''
  
  [Where problems could occur]
-   
+ 
  There could be some issues with virtlogd, but the code path only executes 
when max_age_days is different than 0.
-  In the event of a regression,  one could disable the setting by commenting 
max_age_days.
