mmm, they are stable with 500mb in /var/log/eucalyptus. It seems that it does not grow any more.
I had never seen one service (apache, asterisk, mysql, etc) with this size of logs... and doing nothing (because it just installed).

Hello,

I think it's stable because is rotating then. You could change the verbosity of the log using the variable
LOGLEVEL=LEVEL
which the NC and the CC will obey. To change the verbosity of the CLC, SC and walrus you need instead to add the option
--log-level=LEVEL
to the variable OPTS on the function do_start in /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-cloud. LEVEL can be DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL.

We did make it a bit easier in the next release.

cheers
