Log Disk exhaustion and low disk space on VMware VCSA appliance Fix

Have you seen the error Log Disk Exhaustion on VCSA? If you have, you are not alone. Disk space problems can creep up on the VCSA vCenter Server appliance. I am running a decently sized home lab environment and have seen this problem a few times over the past few months with the storage/log partition showing it was running out of space.

I am using the default partitioning scheme with the VCSA appliance and accepted the default partitioning scheme. This is a follow-up video to a blog post that I posted here:

It steps through how to explore the directory structure on your VCSA 7.0 Update 2 vCenter Server appliance and find files that are eating away at your disk space. In my case, it was mainly normal log files that were not large in themselves, but due to the quantity of the log files, these had taken a large chunk of disk space on the log partition.
