Saurav Lahiri commented on CLOUDSTACK-6258: ------------------------------------------- The problem appears to be the start function in the /etc/init.d/cloud service for console proxy. More specifically the following line also writes to /var/log/cloud.out ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (cd $CLOUD_COM_HOME/systemvm; nohup ./run.sh > /var/log/cloud/cloud.out 2>&1 & ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- since run.sh calls _run.sh and both has "set -x" enabled, in certain situations they can keep logging messages to cloud.out without being aware of the settings in log4j-cloud.xml One way to fix that could be that run.sh and _run.sh would log to cloud.out only if a debug flag was set to true, otherwise only the java process would write to cloud.out and log4j would respect the settings in log4j-cloud.xml > console proxy log files in /var/log/cloud are larger than 10MB > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-6258 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6258 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: SystemVM > Affects Versions: 4.3.0 > Reporter: Saurav Lahiri > Assignee: Saurav Lahiri > > We have seen that very often on console proxy, the root filesystem goes full > with the cloud.out.* occupying all the space.
