Resolution
This issue is resolved in Cloud Director 10.5.1.1 which is available for download here.

Backup the the file /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/global.properties on the Cloud Director cell.2. Insert the below line in the file /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc/global.properties and specify the amount of days you wish to retain the logs. The below example sets the retention to 10 days. vcloud.http.log.retainDays=10 3. Restart the vmware-vcd service on the Cloud Director cell to apply the change.
