Amount of free space on the /var/log file system is critical

Troubleshooting


Problem

Deleted files are still associated with a running process, leading to disk space not being freed on the disk.

Symptom

The following events are raised with their problem description:
"CWZIP6238W The amount of free space on file system /var/log is low."
Older files will be deleted to provide more free space.
"CWZIP6239E The amount of free space on the /var/log file system is critical."
If the file system space reaches 100% capacity, multiple services on the Platform System Manager (PSM) go offline.
