File size limit exceeded...

I had cacti-0.8.6j working fine for two weeks.

My graphs are not displaying any data anymore and when I run:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php

as cactiuser I get this:
.

Waiting on 3/3 pollers.

File size limit exceeded

Also, here's something else I've found:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/cmd.php 3
File size limit exceeded
/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/cmd.php 4
File size limit exceeded
/usr/bin/php /usr/share/cacti/cmd.php 5
File size limit exceeded

As far as I know, no changes were made to the system, other than adding hosts and labels to the graphs.

You cacti.log file is to large. Fix it.

[edgonz]

Yup, that fixed it.

I created a logrotate on this file.

Thanks!

I followed the instructions about setting up logrotate, with some minor changes to suit my system.

Code: Select all

/var/log/cacti/cacti.log {
# keep 7 versions online
        rotate 7
# rotate each day
        daily
# file should only be up to 5 MegaBytes
        size 5M
# don't compress, but
# if disk space is an issue, change to
        compress
#       nocompress
# create new file with    attributes
        create 644 cactiuser cacti
# add a YYYYMMDD extension instead of a number
        dateext
}

But this is not creating the log rotation as it should. I ran the following command, but it appears that something's not working properly:

Code: Select all

logrotate -fd /etc/logrotate.d/cacti
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/cacti
reading config info for /var/log/cacti/cacti.log

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/cacti/cacti.log  forced from command line (7 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/cacti/cacti.log
  log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/cacti/cacti.log, log->rotateCount is 7
glob finding old rotated logs failed
renaming /var/log/cacti/cacti.log to /var/log/cacti/cacti.log-20071016
creating new log mode = 0644 uid = 502 gid = 101
compressing log with: /bin/gzip
[root@somebox logrotate.d]# ls -al /var/log/cacti/

drwxrwxr-x  2 cactiuser cacti    4096 Oct 15 13:30 .

-rw-rw-r--  1 cactiuser cacti 1540044 Oct 16 09:20 cacti.log

I've been over the logrotate config and it seems ok; is there something I missed?

Thanks.

As long as you're using the "-d" option, logrotate will not perform ANY changes

[edgonz]

Well, I meant they're not rotating at their 5MB intervals as they're supposed to. They keep growing over 10MB, and not rotating. I'm wondering if I'm missing something else on my logrotate config.

[gandalf]

Is a time option along with a filesize allowed?
