Goal

*This article is not a solution but a troubleshooting resource as it contains information not explained in the document guide(s).

If there are retention policies in place with "free-disk-space", the expectation would be for log files to be rotated and/or removed when the log directory size is lower than the value defined in the associated policy.

It has been found that with a "free-disk-space" retention policy (only), the log files are not removed and the log directory size increases even if the free disk size is lower than the value defined in the policy.
