I have a vcenter 6.5 U2g, that shows the warning "Filesystem holding VMware Postgres service error logs is running low on available space"
I tried to find the reason via ssh with 'df -h' and saw, that the consumption is at 'storage/log/'

With a 'du -k' i found, that there is the directory '/storage/log/vmware/esx' with a consumption of 28G.
Four of my ESXi-Hosts are storing Logfiles with several GBs inside.
What can i do to prevent this? Do I have to limit a setting in the syslog collector?
