Nagios Support Forum

We run scheduled reports.

We seem to have a ton of old tmp report data under
/usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/exportreport-nagiosadmin-59e24292d3487

This "tmp" report data dates back to 2016.
a) How far back do we need to keep these?
b) How do we automatically purge this tmp folder to keep it's size under control?

What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using?
The old "exportreport*" temp files *should* be deleted... It's possible that there is a bug with an older versions of Nagios XI. In any case, it should be safe to delete these files. You could run the following command from the command line: If you don't want to delete temp files manually, you could set up a cron job, using the above command.

we are running nagios xi 5.4.2
