FTP Backups retention not working

[jacek]

Hi,

I have setup an FTP backup, which is working quite good, but the retention setting doesn't.
I checked the FTP account using WinSCP and the user has permission to delete the files.

Any clue?

@jacek, What is the backup limit is currently set to in the GUI? Can you run ls -l in the directory on the FTP server where backup files are stored and show me the output? What version of XI are you currently running?

[jacek]

Limit is 7, backups made daily.
At this point I have 8 or 9 already (deleted some of them few days ago).
Can't do the ls -l right now, but don't see the point in that either?

What version of XI are you using? You can grab it from the bottom left hand side of the web interface.

Additionally, please attach this file:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log

Sorry, forgot to mention, newest version possible.
I will attach the file later.

That is the only thing I got in the log and I forced a backup (changed the time it's supposed to happen) and it did it without any issues.
BUT it didn't delete the oldest files again and I have 10 already (screenshots attached from WinSCP FTP as the user that is setup in the scheduled backups), will delete the oldest 2 to make some space for new ones.

If you had 8+ backups already, the "extra" ones (over 7) wouldn't be deleted. You had 10, and deleted two of them manually, so that leaves 8. Nagios won't delete any additional backups in this case... Try leaving only 6 backups to see if after 2 runs, the oldest (8th) backup will be removed.
