Hi all,

we have just over 20GB of the logfiles.

I added the below line to /etc/my.cnf.d/mysql-server.cnf as it was suggested previously viewtopic.php?t=60647
binlog_expire_logs_seconds=86400


Would it clear these logs or do I have to purge these manually?

I don't have a great deal of recent mysql knowledge so I'd appreciate some guidance.

You could read the logs and figure out why it's logging.

It was the default behaviour of the downloaded ISO, after I restarted the MySQL daemon it cleaned up the disk space and it seems to be removing logs after they age, I'll monitor it, but I think we're fine.
