Description Michael Tremer 2015-07-17 17:52:13 UTC

The SARG reports accumulate lots of data and require lots of disk space and also create so many files that inodes are running out on the /var partition with ext4.

A script should regularly discard old reports.

60 days and 8 weeks back (respectively) should be enough.

Hello Michael,
I was going to take this bug, it would be my first one, if I understood correctly, the script should run as cron job, cleaning out older files then 60 days/8 weeks.

My idea was thas cron job from /etc/fcron.daily/sarg-reports cleans out /var/log/sarg/daily, older then 60 days. Same thing for weeks/months.

Is that acceptable?

This is a good approach to solve this problem. We have something similar for dma. Maybe that is a good start and you can work your way from there.
