[SOLVED] Cleaning directories.... (logger, log)

[fdezmichael]

Hi...

My system is growing too much is this directories under /opt/zimbra

log
logger
jetty-6.1.5 (log direcvtory)

My system: CentOS release 5 (Final), Zimbra 5.0.6

So my questions are:

1.- My directory /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data is growing too much... is now 5.1 GB. so how can I clean that directory without break my setup?

I found this:

****************
su - zimbra
stop logger db (mysql processes)
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmloggerinit
*****************
But i not sure if is this the best solution.


2.- Is there a way to keep less files for log (mailbox.log and jetty logs)?

Now i have: 10 files for Jetty logs and each file with a size of around: 400 MB

For the logs under /opt/zimbra/log i have 10 files, and each with a size of around 200 MB.

Thanks a lot for any answer.

Michael.-

To clean up logger and re-init it
-------------------------------------------------------

su - zimbra
logmysql.server stop
logout
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/*
chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/db/data
chmod 775 /opt/zimbra/db/data
cd /opt/zimbra/libexec
./zmloggerinit
./zmfixperms
su - zimbra
zmlogswatchctl start
zmcontrol status

Some things you could do:

su - zimbra
zmprov mcf zimbraLogRawLifetime Xd (31d by default)
zmprov mcf zimbraLogSummaryLifetime Xd (730d by default)
If you're curious how this process works examine /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmlogprocess (which is fired off every 10 min from crontab against the zimbra_logger DB). It's used in things like zmmstgrace.

Decrease the rotate numbers/amount retained at the below locations:
/etc/logrotate.d/zimbra
crontab -e (as the zimbra user)
/opt/zimbra/conf/zmlogrotate

Change log levels /opt/zimbra/conf/log4j.properties.in
For instance FATAL, ERROR, and WARN levels are going to produce less content than INFO or DEBUG.

(Then zmcontrol stop/start to get everything to apply.)

Lots of other attributes/configs for log levels, but that should cover a decent ammount. Should upgrade to 5.0.10 sometime as well.

Hi, thanks for the answers..

In the file: /opt/zimbra/conf/log4j.properties.in I only have for "mailbox.log" the following entry....

%%uncomment VAR:!zimbraLogToSyslog%%log4j.rootLogger=INFO,LOGF ILE
%%uncomment VAR:zimbraLogToSyslog%%log4j.rootLogger=INFO,LOGFI LE,SYSLOG

# Appender LOGFILE writes to the file "/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log".
#log4j.appender.LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppen der
log4j.appender.LOGFILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRolli ngFileAppender
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.File=/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.Append=true
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout=com.zimbra.common.ut il.ZimbraPatternLayout
log4j.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p [%t] [%z] %c{1} - %m%n


So if I change the line:

%%uncomment VAR:!zimbraLogToSyslog%%log4j.rootLogger=INFO,LOGF ILE

By:

%%uncomment VAR:!zimbraLogToSyslog%%log4j.rootLogger=WARN,LOGF ILE

That line will affect only maillog.log or I need to change the other one too (the one that says SYSLOG).?

And about the Jetty logs, I have DEBUG level in these files:

/opt/zimbra/jetty/etc/zimbraAdmin.web.xml.in
/opt/zimbra/jetty/etc/zimbra.web.xml.in

If I have to change to WARN level in both of them?

Thanks!!!

Michael..
