Issue/Introduction

In vCenter Server 7.0, log files named trustmanagement-access.*.log in the /storage/log/vmware/trustmanagement directory are not being rotated correctly.

Over time, these log files accumulate and may lead to disk space exhaustion in the /storage/log partition.

Environment

Cause

This issue is caused by a known logging configuration defect in certain versions of vCenter Server 7.0.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3f .
To resolve this issue, upgrade the vCenter Server to the fixed version.

Additional Information

If you cannot upgrade immediately, you can safely delete older log files using the command line to free up space.

1. Log in to the vCenter Server via SSH as root.
2. Run the following command to delete log files older than 14 days:
   # find /storage/log/vmware/trustmanagement -mtime +14 -type f -name "trustmanagement-access.*.log" -delete
