Troubleshooting
Problem
The /var/log and /var/log/audit partition can fill to capacity due to an issue with logrotate properly rotating files, caused by a decompressed file existing.

Lack of available space in the /var/log and /var/log/audit partition can cause the following symptoms:
- Alerts about "Process monitor application failed to start multiple times"
- Searches reporting I/O errors
- Services not starting
- Failed disk space checks when a software update runs
- Database backup issues:
Backup Failed: com.q1labs.configservices.hostcontext.exception.BackupException: unable to process backup target of type - PSQL authentication issues with services:
