After 4.5.1a upgrade, Not enough free capacity on one or more partitions on the HX controller VM

[asilverman1]

Everything post upgrade is working fine, but the /dev/sda1 partition is showing 84% full. It started generating the warning after the upgrade.  What is the best course of action to free up some space?  I see that there are some fairly large logs in /var/log and in /var/srv/log/springpath but I'm not sure which are safe to delete or if this is the best course of action.

Is there any automated process that will clean up older logs?

The logs are NOT on /dev/sda1.

Very likely vmwaretools needs to be cleaned up due to:

  CSCvx01799 :: HX 4.5 - root fs mountpoint capacity and utilization

Unfortunately have to open a TAC case to get to the root shell of Hyperflex 4.5.
