Root Partition Disk Space Critical

[Nemokapi]

Hello,

I have the latest NagiosXI VM installed. I am getting notification that my root partition is critical. as of today i only have 380MB space left on it. I desperately need of help. Why is my root partition all of the sudden getting full?

Thank you,

You can clear some old log files to make some room, and resize your VM to add disk space. Please, follow the steps outlined in our documentation for resizing the VM disk size:

Don't forget to do a proper backup of your Nagios server:

This outline does not explain on how to delete old log files. please let me know on how to do it.
Thank you,

One way to do this is to delete:

Code: Select all

vmware.log

This file will automatically be created the next time you restart your VM.

See what you have in /var/log:

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/log

You may delete some of the older logs - the ones with a number at the end, i.e. "messages.1", "messages.2", etc. You have to decide you you need to keep, and what you can delete.

You can also check the httpd logs:

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/log/httpd

You can see what is in your /tmp directory, etc.
