Description

According to Phil Z, CM doesn't do anything about log retention. We need to add some code which will periodically scan our log dir and remove logs older than a certain date (or maybe enforce a total size?). Otherwise it's likely users are going to run out of space on their log volume. (after running a workload for a few days with metrics logging enabled, I have 3.5GB of metrics logs on one host)
