Ok, you seem to be right.
But what about a 'find -mtime +180 -type f' in that directory and
remove the files
you'll get this way?

I've had a look at that but it looks to me like that is for managing the
/xymon/data/histlogs folder not the /xymon/data/hostdata folder.

Hi Neil,
take a look at the trimhistory command delivered with XYmon.
I use it here to delete the history data older than a year.
In addition I also have a script similar to the one on XYmonton that
deletes the RRD files for hosts or tests that get no longer updated.

We've been getting some space issues recently on our /xymon

don't really want to add more space so I am looking at implementing
some housekeeping on the /xymon/data/hostdata folder.
If I run a find command there are nearly 58000 files over 180 days
old and I don't
really think we need to keep client data from alerts older than that.
Is there a built in way to manage this or is it a case of writing a
script to manage
it?
