currently, the logrotate runs on the first of the month to rotate the log file from the scrape. However, the scrape runs on the last day of the month & takes multiple days. Because there is a process with a write lock on the log file, this means that it does not rotate correctly first time, which leads it to do a messy rotation the next time. I've just tidied up some of the unnecessary empty log files (& added config to logrotate to not rotate empty files), but some further tweaks would be nice to tidy things up a bit more.
