Hi,

I just want to thank everyone for the forum post, and keeping Xymon alive.
This is a really great monitoring product.

Now to my question. How does one keep the log files, history files, RRD
files, and anything else stored under check?

I currently only need data for the last year. So I am looking to delete it
or archive it. Does anyone have scripts that they would like to share to
help maintain the growing Xymon data?


Thanks.

Hi,

RRD-files are self-maintaining, they will only keep data for the past 576 days.

For the history-logs, there is a tool included with Xymon: trimhistory. Have a look at https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man8/trimhistory.8.html


Regards,
Henrik
