Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Postgresql logs can accumulate in /var/log, triggering disk full threshold warnings.

Impact

If /var/log fills then the system will be unable to log more to the disk.

Conditions

- BIG-IQ is running a version which uses postgres, such as 7.0 or higher. - Files in /var/log/postgres/ are occupying too much space on disk.

Workaround

Periodically remove old files from /var/log/postgres. For example, to remove files over than 10 days, you can use: find /var/log/postgres/ -type f -mtime +10 -name '*.log' -execdir rm -- '{}' \;"

Fix Information

None
