Removing old Naemon logfiles
Wednesday, June 05, 2024 in Insights

By default none of the archived logs is ever deleted. If your disk space is limited, you may want to discard old logs after some months or years. Create a file ~/local/bin/purge_naemon_archive with the following content. #!/bin/bash archive_dir=$OMD_ROOT/var/naemon/archive today=$(date +%Y%m%d) days_to_keep=${CONFIG_NAEMON_ARCHIVES_RETENTION:-365} # the oldest day in yyyymmdd format cutoff_date=$(date -d "$today - $days_to_keep days" +%Y%m%d) for file in "$archive_dir"/naemon.log-* do # extract the date from the filename file_date=$(basename "$file" | cut -d '-' -f 2) # if the file's date is …
