Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I can see that the directory : perfdata is taking a lot of disk space on the root partitions.

PATH: /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata

is it safe to delete this directory or do we need to keep this data to some other location to avoid disk space issue.

Hi

The data in that directory is the performance data. It should only grow if you add hosts or services.

If you get a directory listing you can check the directory names against your current hosts. There may
be some hosts (directories) that have been decommissioned. If you don't care about the performance
data from a decommissioned host you could delete the directory (and its contents) for that host.

Thanks
