NimbostratusLog file control in Bigip /var/log/ts
I have a system running 11.5.1 with modules LTM, GTM, AFM, APM and ASM provisioned. The issue I am seeing is that the /var/log system is filling up to capacity.
While looking at the issue I found that there are large log files in /var/log/ts that are taking up most of the space and from what I can tell, are not being managed by the log rotation process like the logs in /var/log are.
So my questions is, what is generating the log found in /var/log/ts and where can I configure them to be rolled like the other log files?
A sampling of the log in this directory are:
bd_agent.log bd.log checksums.log dcc.log prepare_files.log sendcmd.log ts_configsync.log ts_debug.log psbnagd.log
Any help on locating where to configure the management of these files would be great.

what are those file? sol14020: BIG-IP ASM daemons (11.x)
Do you have up to 24 files per log?
Change the number of archive copies that the system retains
The tmsh log-rotate common-backlogs option specifies the maximum number of log files that the system retains for each log file. By default, the BIG-IP system is configured to retain up to a maximum of 24 archive copies of each log file.

rootvikm_79112As mentioned in the original post. These files are apparently not being managed by the log rotation service. There are no backup files, just the ones I listed that are 30-45Mb each. I am trying to identify what service on the BigIP is generating some or all of the files, and how I can either turn down the logging level, or add it to the list of log files being rotated.
