logrotate cron job not rotating certain logs

I've recently encountered a similar SELinux-related issue with logrotate not operating on files as expected, which occurred when the logs to be rotated were on an NFS share.

In this case setting the logrotate_use_nfs seboolean seemed to fix the problem, e.g.

$ setsebool logrotate_use_nfs 1
$ getsebool logrotate_use_nfs
logrotate_use_nfs --> on
