Description

CloudStack installs "/opt/xensource/sm/hostvmstats.py" script into XenServer. And the script keeps outputting the log into "/tmp/xapilog." Now the log is being huge size (Almost 120MBytes) since the file has no architecture to delete/compress.

The info logged in /opt/xensource/sm/hostvmstats.py is not much useful. There are few cases in the past where CloudStack was contributing to Root filesystem being full on xenserver. We need to make sure either we delete/overwrite/rotate the file /tmp/xapilog in Xenserver.
