I just upgraded our virtual center server 5 and am having some disk space issues now. I ran jdiskreport and found that there are some huge log files and I wondering if these can be removed and if there are any retention and size settings I can implement. The logs I found were under: C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\data\log. There are files named xhive_0000000519.log and some others and they are over 4GB in size. I already changed the wrapper.conf file to rotate and set the maximum log size but those settings refer to different logs.
I'm having the same exact issue. Have you figured it out?
Found an external blog post http://virtual-stones.stonemountains.nl/2013/02/vmware-inventory-service-causes-vcenter.html
Theres another log4j.conf file present under /lib/server/config. Not sure what this one is used for.
