Purpose
To work around the /storage/log directory full issue in vCenter Server Appliance, decrease the maximum backup size and the maximum backup index in the log4j.properties file.
Cause
This issue occurs due to an decrease in the SSO log files in the /storage/log directory. During the log rotation, the old log file is not compressed resulting in multiple large files in the /storage/log directory.
Resolution

To work around this issue, decrease the maximum backup size and the maximum backup index in the log4j.properties file.

cp log4j.properties log4j.properties.bak
6.Open the log4j.properties file using a text editor.
7.Locate the log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxFileSize and log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxBackupIndex parameters after this entry:

log4j.appender.LOGFILE.File=${catalina.base}/logs/vmware-identity-sts.log
8.Change the value of parameters to 50 and 5 respectively:

For example:

log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxFileSize=50MB
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxBackupIndex=5

Note: The default values are MaxFileSize=100MB and MaxBackupIndex=10.
9.Locate the log4j.appender.PERFLOG.MaxBackupIndex parameter after this entry:

log4j.appender.PERFLOG.File=${catalina.base}/logs/vmware-identity-sts-perf.log
