[ACS41] Catalana.out needs log rotate
Catalana.out on a lightly used demo ACS41 is 166mb in size in less than 2 weeks old implementation running on centos6.3
How does log rotate work? Would anyone know if we are using Linux based log rotate or some other engine?
Thanks
Ilya

I would vote for ditching the CONSOLE log completely. It's useful to see the startup messages from catalina (tomcat), but we should put all cloudstack logs in the management log (or agent/usage). I see not much use in duplicating the logs in both the management.log and the catalina.out.

This should work, and we can make it part of RPM/DEB builds.
1. Create this file
/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat
2. Copy the following contents into the above file
/var/log/cloudstack/management/catalina.out {
copytruncate
daily
rotate 7
compress
missingok
size 5M
}

In that case, we can use native system log rotate daemon.
If no objections, I can take this on.

catalina.out may be a problem here, I think it is created in using shell redirection
