Description

Log4j configuration for cloudstack-agent does not include an archival policy so it can fill /var partition over time.

we should include a rotation limit of example 31 files which mean 31 days.

example:

   <appender name="FILE" class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
      <param name="Append" value="true"/>
      <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
      <rollingPolicy class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
        <param name="FileNamePattern" value="/var/log/cloudstack/agent/agent.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.gz"/>
        <param name="ActiveFileName" value="/var/log/cloudstack/agent/agent.log"/>
        <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="31"/>
      </rollingPolicy>
      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%c{3}] (%t:%x) (logid:%X{logcontextid}) %m%n"/>
      </layout>
   </appender>

The logrotate file /etc/logrotate.d/cloudstack-agent deployed with cloudstack-agent is outdated.

The log file: /var/log/cloudstack/management/security_group.log does not have logrotation policy.
