title: Tomcat localhost_access_log files cleanup
body: <p>We have Solr running on Tomcat 8. We are having issues in our different environments with localhost_access_log files filling up the servers. These files are created by the Access Valve Log in server.xml configured like this - </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
     prefix="localhost_access_log" 
     suffix=".txt" pattern="%h %l %u %t &amp;quot;%r&amp;quot; %s %b" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From what I've read, there is no OOTB way in Tomcat to clean up old log files. What can I implement to clean up the old access log files? </p>
