Cleanup and free up server space

[caterpillartce]

Hello,

Our Nagios server is showing an alert on local host/root partition. Before asking server guys to allocate more space, is there any directory that we can cleanup, such as temporary files, logs, etc.?

Thanks

What version of XI are you running? New versions have /etc/logrotate.d/nagiosxi, which could be useful (and of course /etc/logrotate.d/ in general)

Certainly /tmp could be useful.

In an immediate sense, du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -10 could be useful, but just clearing out space is likely to be a temporary measure.

We are on 5.4.5.

Can I delete these in the /tmp directory? I suppose they were from last time we upgraded Nagios:
see attached screenshot.

Thanks!

You might want to see if those are backed up elsewhere, but yes.
