Need Help w/ Reducing Cacti Space

[ltitusl]

So I've noticed Cacti over the years is eating up more and more space. My only thought is that this is due to log files. Is there a way to limit the size of log files or how long they're kept? If I'm wrong, what else could be eating up all that space as Cacti is the only thing on this server?

Under Unix you can use logrotate to keep the log files small and have them maintained automatically. See this post here for some examples:

Looking into this to learn more about my own new cacti install, I see this is already taken care of, on newer Ubuntu installs.

Code: Select all

userland@ubuntu:/etc/logrotate.d$ cat cacti
/var/log/cacti/*.log {
        weekly
        missingok
        rotate 52
        compress
        notifempty
        create 640 www-data www-data
        sharedscripts
}
