Hi,
First post. Thanks for supporting this fantastic app!
In order to reclaim some disk space I ran:
"su xymon -c '/home/xymon/server/bin/trimhistory --drop --cutoff=date +%s --date="1 Oct 2013" —droplogs’"
Afterwards xymond_history went purple, with the message "program crashed - fatal error”
I then ran "xymon localhost "drop <hostname> xymond_history” and now xymond_history has disappeared.
I should add that the first time I ran trimhistory as root which messed up permissions on the allevents file. chmod xymon:xymon appears to have fixed it.
How to get xymond_history working again?
Also, for some long-running hosts, the hostdata directory remains at over 2GB. Is there a way to prune the hostdata directory?
Can I safely delete hostdata with "rm <hostfile>" for hosts that are no longer monitored?
