Outdated backups

Dear All,

Backup and maintenance task does not delete outdated backups as expected.
Could you please help me where to find logs to check for errors?

Thanks in advance,
Zoltan

Could you post a screenshot of your Backup & Maintenance page for us to review?

For the record, if there are backups stuck from the past, or failed, then you'll want to delete these to ensure new backups are made properly.

Can you share the output (in plain-text) of the following commands executed from the CLI of your Nagios Log Server machine:

Double check the --repository argument I've put in the commands. Unsure if that's a lower-case L or capital i in the repository name (lvpapp-NFS)

Code: Select all

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all'
curator --debug delete snapshots --older-than 183 --time-unit days --timestring %Y%m%d --repository lvpapp-NFS
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_snapshot/lvpapp-NFS/_all'
The outputs for the last 2 commands will likely be very long. I would suggest sending it to a file.

Can you tell me which version of Nagios Log Server you are currently using? Can you also share the output of curator --version?

I suspect there is an issue with changing conventions for snapshots between curator versions. We likely will need to clear out those old snapshots by hand. I can provide some commands to run once I know more about your system.

Nagios Log Server • 1.4.2
curator, version 3.4.0

Can you run the following command and share the output:

Code: Select all

curator --dry-run delete snapshots --prefix logstash --older-than 183 --time-unit days --timestring %Y.%m.%d --repository lvpapp-NFS
There might be a few dry-runs before we commit to actually removing snapshots. Just trying to be extra sure we keep your 183 days around :)

EDIT: Just for future reference, here's a nice neat little list of all the logstash-YYYY.MM.DD snapshots:

Did you need additional assistance navigating the curator commands, or can we close this thread?
