I can see some Helth warning on VCSA, SSH to VCSA using putty and immediately Noticed that /root partition is full..
Then I dig deeper to find which files causing the issue and find the culprit bunch of dnsmasq.log files were created in the /var/log directory.
Found KB related the issue that I'm having .. seems like it is safe to remove larger log files as a quick solution, it cleared most of the space and now I have free space..
Still I need a permanent solution for this .. Time to follow the KB and add parameters to Log rotate..
First edit Log rotate for dnsmasq
vi /etc/logrotate.d/dnsmasq
Update the file to contain these lines and save the file: /var/log/vmware/dnsmasq.log {
nodateext
daily
missingok
notifempty
compress
maxsize 5M
rotate 5
sharedscripts
postrotate
[ ! -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid ] || kill -USR2 `cat /var/run/dnsmasq.pid`
endscript
create 0640 dnsmasq dnsmasq
}
Then update the dnsmasq.conf
vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Update the file to contain these lines and save the file:listen-address=127.0.0.1
bind-interfaces
user=dnsmasq
group=dnsmasq
no-negcache
no-hosts
log-queries
log-facility=/var/log/vmware/dnsmasq.log
domain-needed
dns-forward-max=150
cache-size=8192
neg-ttl=3600
finally restart dnsmasq service
service dnsmasq restart
new log files are much smaller and they are zipped.
