Re: Issue with growing log files

Post by ssax »

Please change the top one to this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/*log {
    missingok
    notifempty
    size 5M
    rotate 1
    compress
    su nagios nagios
}
Then watch the logs on the next run to see if it resolves it.

I added "Su root nagios" to the file in question and reran the service, the output is below.

Hi,

The default is su nagios nagios. It does look like it is working much better. Have you noticed any reduction in the disk space required by the logs. Also, check the cron log to make sure logrotate is running on a scheduled basis.e

Code: Select all

I think we are good to go, it took it the better part of a day to fully clear the files out since they were so large but everything appears to be working. I will keep an eye on it to make sure it runs automatically. Thank you to everyone for the help!
