size of the elasticsearch disk

[tim.kroeger]

I just installed log server and starting to point systems to it as a remote log server, but I noticed that the system is only using 50Gb of the 500Gb for logs. Should I be worried? Will it automatically adjust the amount of disk its using? Can I change that setting? I dont mind reinstalling, but would like to get it fixed before I point too many more systems to it.

thanks!

Is this a source install or OVA install? How/where are you checking disk space?

I installed it using the install script from the installation guide.

One of the default graphs is telling me that it only has 50Gb of space available to use.

It sounds like the space may have been allocated some other than where NLS keeps the logs by default(/usr/local/nagioslogserver/elasticsearch). Instead of reinstalling/resizing partitions it may just be easier to change the location of the Elasticsearch database. See: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf.

Thanks! I'll try that. Appreciate the help.

Sounds good. Keep us posted
