Log details in /var/cache

Question

Hello,

May I ask what is the difference of logs in /var/lib/tomcat9/logs to /var/cache/tomcat9/logs.
It seems that the /var/cache is consuming almost 50% of the storage of our server.

/var/cache/tomcat9 is the Tomcat's sandbox, and /var/cache/tomcat9/logs is a "hard link" to /var/lib/tomcat9/work/logs.

These are the logs written by Headwind MDM application itself, and their contents is mostly the same as the /var/lib/tomcat9/logs/catalina.out. You can manage the log contents by editing the file: /var/lib/tomcat9/work/log4j-hmdm.xml.
