> added a log trimmer config for squid

I feel your pain - I'm curious, was it a drop-in /etc/logrotate.d/ config which was sending a HUP? I don't run squid but Google'd up that it will take a USR1 to rotate logs which should not close the HTTP connections (allegedly HUP closes them). Perhaps the AL2 folks chose the wrong signal? https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InstallingSquid#squid_...

Root causing it is on my todo. For now I just commented the config in my user-data.sh

But systemd itself was setting the squid service into stop then start. I don’t think by that time systemd knew the reason was to do with logs.

I'm wondering if this new config made squid exceed any limits, causing it to hard stop. I'd expect the log trimmer to have/cause a bug in squid itself.

It was sharply at :00 and :30 so I think it was time based and not reality based.
