/storage/log partition full due to cloudvm-ram-size.log file rotation is not working in vCenter Server Appliance

Issue/Introduction Symptoms: In VCSA 6.0, the /storage/log/vmware/cloudvm/cloudvm-ram-size.log file size increases without log rotation. The available space in the /storage/log directory reduces gradually.   Environment VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.x Cause This issue occurs due to the absence of log rotation configuration for the cloudvm-ram-size.log file. Resolution This issue is fixed in vSphere 6.5. For previous vSphere versions, work around this issue by manually configuring log rotation for the cloudvm-ram-size.log file. To manually configure log rotation for the cloudvm-ram-size.log file: Log into the vCenter Server Appliance. Navigate to: /etc/logrotate.d To create the cloudvm_ram_size.log file, run this command: touch /etc/logrotate.d/cloudvm_ram_size.log Open the cloudvm_ram_size.log file created in step #3 using a text editor. Enter these entries: /storage/log/vmware/cloudvm/cloudvm-ram-size.log{ missingok notifempty compress size 20k monthly rotate 5 create 0660 root cis } Save the cloudvm_ram_size.log file. To enable log rotation for the cloudvm-ram-size.log file and all the other log files, run this command: logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf Notes: You may see some errors while running the logrotate command, which can be ignored. You can keep the latest cloudvm-ram-size.log-xxxxxxxxx-.bz2 file. It is recommended to do periodic cleanup of older .bz2 files in the /storage/log/vmware/cloudvm location.
