I'm on PVE 9.1.4 and just noticed that /var/log/atop is at 77GB large. This is on a 3-node cluster with 7 LXCs.
Logrotation seems to work, keeping 28 days worth of logs: Today is March 1st and the oldest file is from Feb 1st.
Gut feeling tell me that's quite a lot, is this a usual value?
 
atop is not part of Proxmox. So whatever you're doing, stop doing it :-)

Ouch, how embarrassing—I had to fix an LXC problem in January and forgot that I had run it in daemon mode with a high sample rate...
