VMware Postgres must be configured to overwrite older logs when necessary.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without proper configuration, log files for VMware Postgres can grow without bound, filling the partition and potentially affecting the availability of the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). One part of this configuration is to ensure the logging subsystem overwrites, rather than appends to, any previous logs that would share the same name. This is avoided in other configuration steps, but this best practice should be followed for good measure.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
