Very heavy logs files alfresco content service

Hello,
I founds very heavy logs files in the logs directory of tomcat, at this path: /opt/alfresco-community/tomcat/logs/.
Periodically, i must delete most of this files manually because they consume almost all of the disk space available. Why this appens? I thought that its depends form the system.serverMode variable of the properties file, but I understood that this is not the case.

Thanks to all.

That log is coming from Tomcat.

You need to modify the conf/server.xml from Tomcat to remove/comment the Valve org.apache.valves.AccessLogValve.

What are the names of the files generated in that folder?

You can control verbosity from Alfresco application and Tomcat configuration.

Hi,

the files are:

catalina.<date>.log
host-manager.<date>.log
localhost.<date>.log
localhost_access_log<date>.txt
manager.<date>.log

They are generated every day.

The heaviest files are localhost_access_log<date> .txt, theirs weight can be also 900MB and more.

I'm having the same problem above, but even changing this line in server.xml doesn't work. Could you help me? I'd be grateful.
