/var/rudder gets too big on nodes
Description
The title says it all.
This is from only 2 days:
[root@node ~]# du -hs /var/rudder/modified-files/ 686M /var/rudder/modified-files/ [root@node ~]# du -hs /var/rudder/cfengine-community/state/ 81M /var/rudder/cfengine-community/state/ [root@node ~]# du -hs /var/rudder/cfengine-community/outputs/ 153M /var/rudder/cfengine-community/outputs/
[root@node ~]# echo "686+81+153" | bc 920

Dennis, you will be pleased, in 2.10 the retention is configurable (see http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/4369 )
Does it correspond to your need ?

I'm not sure which directories will grow over time. But this growth is really from 2 days. I think if /var/rudder grows more than 1G in 2 days, that's a lot! It seems somthing goes wrong somewhere. Also, are all directories growing get configurable in 2.10?
Updated by Vincent MEMBRÉ almost 11 years ago
I think the growth rate is mostly due to #4650, some files change every 5 minutes (npt.conf, motd), making them pile up in that directory (and your ntp.conf grows really big ...)

That makes sense. What about the state directory?
Updated by Nicolas CHARLES about 10 years ago
Dennis,
We made a lot of modification around that, most notably making everything configurable in the UI
Did it fix your issue ?

Dennis, we improved a lot of things there (configure retention time), and corrected the everygrowing of file. Did this fix your issue ? Without answer from you, we'll assume it is now fixed, and close the ticket
Thanks!
