Description
Background:
I am with the UNH-InterOperability Lab, and we host a testbed instance of the OpenHorizon Management VM for the community. Recently, we have noticed that our VM hosting the instance has been running out of disk space. Upon further investigation, we found that certain containers are responsible for a sizable chunk of the disk space consumed.
Environment:
We are running Docker v20.10.18 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Problem:
The exchange API and agbot container are generating gargantuan log files consuming ~750 MB and ~2.5 GB of disk space respectively.
Other containers have somewhat large logs but are dwarfed by these two.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem:
- Deploy the OpenHorizon Management Hub
- Let the management hub run under load for a while.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Management Hub deployment on Docker 20.10.18 and inspecting logging for the exchange API and agbot containers. Determine where their Docker logging configuration is defined and verify the fix by running the hub under load until logs remain within a bounded disk footprint.
