[V13] VSA Full /var/log - How to purge?

[BrianBuchanan]

Hello,

I have case #07939722 open for a completely unrelated reason but during that I received errors referencing /var/log and when I ran the webui updates it also had errors about /var/log. I enabled SSH and logged in and

Code: Select all

[veeamadmin@veeam01 log]$ df -h

and it's 27-GB in /var/log/VeeamBackup

Any tips on purging /var/log/VeeamBackup? Should I keep working with this ticket where I stumbled onto this or open a new issue specific ticket? Is this a situation where I need to grow the disks for the appliance? (The vm was created with two 250-GB disks)

Thanks!

Hi, Brian.

Yeah it's best is to let our support help you purge the logs. Your support engineer will ask if a separate ticket is needed, frankly speaking we're not aware of their processes and procedures from that perspective.

And if I were you, I would indeed redeploy VSA with the recommended disk sizes depending on your environment size, as currently you have bare minimum which is only good for a quick eval but not for serious production use.

Thanks

Are there any larger than expected files there? Can run du -g and see which files are consuming the most space. For sure make a case with Support though to see if maybe there is some verbose setting on a particular log/set of logs.
