Hi
Our VCSA 6.7 is complaining: Log Disk Exhaustion on vmw-vcenter
We have a rather small scale environment (5 ESXi using this vmw-vcenter) and set it up with the recommended requirements back then when it comes to scale.
Seems like /storage/log is the culprit.
Rather than simply extending the disk, I'd like to resolve this properly.
root@vmw-vcenter [ / ]# df -h

One of the main culprits seem to be these two files:
root@vmw-vcenter [ /storage/log/vmware ]# du -a | sort -n -r | head -n 5

What's the proper way to truncate/rotate them?
