ConfigServer Community Forum

My /var/lib/csf/csf.logtemp is quite large on both servers where I have csf installed. By quite large I mean about 500 MBs. Is that normal? Can it be cleared? If so, what is the best way to clear it if something other than deleting it and restarting csf?

I did trying restarting csf and lfd but it didn't clear the log.

FYI, the log contains entries that are months old at the beginning.

Thanks

Simply delete the file. It's is used by the LOGSCANNER option which should be clearing down the file based on the setting for LOGSCANNER_INTERVAL, unless that is set to "manual" and you aren't running a job to process the file (csf -lr).

Thank you.

Both installations are set to...

LOGSCANNER=1
LOGSCANNER_INTERVAL=daily

...so I am unsure why it isn't clearing them.

I re-saved the config file without making any changes just in case.

I'll check in a couple of days to see if it clears automatically.

Have you been receiving the LOGSCANNER email on a daily basis? I would guess not.

You are correct, I have not been receiving them. They are so large it is almost not useful. Maybe I should just set LOGSCANNER=0?
