**HELP!! log is too big!!

[phriday613]

the rrd.log is 34Mb!!! how can i create a logrotate file for it under linux!! it takes FOREVER to load

Definately an issue to address for the next release...

in the meantime, what do i do??! Cacti isnt working, and i cant tell why! it wont graph, but it shows data. I think its a cron problem, but i dont know whats up!

thanks!!

Why you just don't delete it or gzip and store under different name? Cacti will create fresh new log easy to watch. Do you have any reason to keep 34 MB log of cacti operations for last month or so?

i'll have to.. i stupidly never thought about it, thanks! Problem is opening it to check for errors..

The log gets full quick.. what about for the next release a logrotate file to compress the current log and make a new one, so that others dont get huge log files too..

just an idea..

Try to create a file named cacti in your /etc/logrotate.d directory:

add the following to it: (note, change <CACTI-PATH> with actual path)

<CACTI-PATH>/log/rrd.log {
weekly
rotate 4
compress
}
