Uncontrolled Log File Growth in OpenVAS Container

Hello,

the openvas.log file grows rapidly and without bounds, accumulating several gigabytes within a few days.

This behavior causes significant disk pressure on the host system and is not sustainable in a production or long-running environment.

  1. Is there a supported way to configure log rotation or log size limits natively within the OpenVAS container (e.g., via openvas_log.conf)?
  2. Is the log verbosity configurable to reduce the volume of log output?
  3. Are there plans to add built-in log management (rotation, max size, retention) to the official Docker Compose setup?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards
