Disk Root getting full with DB log

[tchandra]

Hi Team,

we have one of Nagios Worker server and it has root partition. Recently, we are getting space issue for disk root.Then i checked and found that
Maria db log under /var/log is occupying more space and i am unable to compress it as it is a live log. Can someone please suggest on this to clear the space issue.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Stop the service and then try deleting the log:

Code: Select all

systemctl stop mariadb

Keep an eye on the log after you restart it. If it growing quickly then that can be a sign of a problem and we'll want to take a look at the log.

No, XI doesn't need the log. It does need the database service though so when you go to remove the log do it quickly:

Code: Select all

systemctl stop mariadb
rm -f /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
systemctl start mariadb

Make sure nagios is still running afterwards:

Code: Select all

systemctl status nagios

and restart it if needed:

Code: Select all

systemctl restart nagios
