Delete old log-files in SmartView Tracker?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to delete old log-files in SmartView Tracker?

Thank you in advance.

On my SmartCenter Server I navigate to $FWDIR/log.
- There are 4 files associated with each log file SmartView Tracker displays, each file name in the group of 4 begins with yyyy-mm-dd_
- Delete the group of 4 files: rm yyyy-mm-dd_*.*

Kind Regards,
dbrown

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm not a LINUX user (at all), so I'm not the best at moving around in the folders. I can't seem to find a folder called '$FWDIR/log'. Can you please tell me how to find it?

If running SecurePlatform, you'll need to go into expert mode - just type expert ;)

Then type the following:

cd $FWDIR/log

and delete the files as per the previous poster using "rm filename" - you might want to back them up first ! I'd suggest leaving the files ending in logaccount_ptr - these are the ID pointers for each of the main log files.

A safer course of action is to move the files into an alternate directory, tar them up and backup the data.

Thanks! Worked perfectly! :-)

I just didn't know that LINUX was 'case sensitive' ;-)...
