It's not part of config. It's part of doing logging right.

Handling SIGHUP (not SIGUSR1, my bad) is the Right Way to do log
rotation.

Status in lazr.config: Fix Released

Bug description:
It's useful to be able to set:
    - log file location
    - severity level cutoff
    - rotation policy
      - how often
      - how are files renamed
      - how many old files are kept

in a configuration file that can be easily edited by sysadmins, rather than in Python code that constructs and assembles logging.Handler objects.
