##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
The CloudStack management and agent log files grow unbounded. Under heavy
use, they can quickly consume all available disk space.
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
<!--
For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal
test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
For new features, show how the feature would be used.
-->
<!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
~~~
- Install CloudStack and use it a lot.
- Examine contents of /var/log/cloudstack/.
~~~
<!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->
##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
~~~
The log files should be limited to a reasonable size.
~~~
##### ACTUAL RESULTS
<!-- What actually happened? -->
<!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
~~~
The log files are large.
~~~
##### PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Both of these changes would be helpful:
1. Explain in the installation guide how to modify the log4j settings to
limit the log file sizes. It would be useful to call out the XML file
locations anyway to help users who want to make other logging changes.
2. In the log4j XML files (for both management and agent), change each
TimeBasedRollingPolicy to a FixedWindowRollingPolicy with a MaxIndex value.
Then add a triggering policy with a MaxFileSize value.
