Hey Dev team,
I went to check the Hard drive usage on the virtual machines after deployment and noticed the Standalone Device client pod logs has run the hard drive dry of space.

Is there a way to limit the pods logs to a smaller size within the deployment configuration?

See screenshot of the log size.

Yes, we should put in something like a logrotate and have a maximum number / size of logs.
This can be configured in the docker logging driver of the container, or explicitly adding a logrotate binary in the container, we'll check what's best and add
