Nagios Support Forum

We have been using Nagios Log server for about 4 months and the amount of space being used is significantly more then the previous solution we had in place. I was wondering if there are any options available for compressing the data since I do not see any in the UI.

Currently we have any logs more then 14 days old being closed (I assume it would have to be closed for it to be compressed). We need to keep logs for a year so any suggestions/recommendations would be helpful.

There is no mechanism for additional compression, the data in log server is compressed, however it also contains an index of the data for fast searching which can cause the total size to be a little larger.

Is the index of the data kept in the file for each day even after it is closed?

It's not a file per-se, but yes it is.
