ISSUE:

Can perfdata be deleted?

/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata

Any recommendations for perfdata management? That folder is currently half of my Nagios Server Hard Drive.

Thank you,
Eddie

Perfdata is stored in RRD files which have a fixed size. So if you do not add more hosts and services the folder will not grow even though it's storing more performance history in those files.
