Description Udi Kalifon 2016-04-18 15:47:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
My instack machine ran out of disk space. I wanted to clean up under /var/logs and saw that the journal directory already grew to 3GB size. The machine was up for only 1 day. This was a 7.3 install which was upgraded to 8.0, but I also checked on a bare metal machine with a clean 8.0 install and the journal directory there was on 4GB as well.


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an undercloud and deploy an overcloud.
2. Run 'sudo du /var/log -h' to see how much space each sub-directory is taking there


Actual results:
/var/log/journal is huge


Expected results:
More reasonable logging

This can be tuned in systemd if necessary, but we won't fix this as part of the Director Deployment configuration.
