Spectrum Scale - automatic audit log files rotation

The File Audit Logging functionality from Spectrum Scale captures file operations on a file system and logs them to a retention enabled fileset.
Depending on the number of operations at the Spectrum Scale file system, it can generate lots of audit files.
The issue is that, even though the retention is set in the audit logging configuration, it will only change the expiration date of the file, but it will not automatically delete it.
The idea is to clear the logs that are older than the retention date automatically.

    This can be addressed outside of Spectrum Scale, e.g. with a Linux script. It is unlikely to be prioritized for Scale.
