Log file limit of 2GB

Post by etc »

I found out that cacti (the poller) crashes once the log file (/var/www/html/cacti/log/cacti.log) exceeds 2GB.

Is there any way to exceed this limit?

That sir is a file system limitation.

We strongly suggest that you don't let you log grow to 2 gigabytes in size.

... e.g. by using logrotate on cacti.log
I suppose there's a need to post some logrotate.d/cacti parameter file, eh?

I downgraded the logging level from medium to "low" and it uses much less space now, probably take a year until it reached 2GB again.

I think that 2G file is not filesystem limitation .. it`s apache limit. above version 2.2 apache didn`t support files larger then 2G
