Hello,
I have been given a new server to which to move our old Xymon service. The old service was all run out of one directory. With the RPM's I can see that things have split up a bit - for example into '/var/lib/xymon', '/usr/share/xymon', 'var/www/xymon' and so on.
The new server has a (separate from the O/S) 30GB disk which I was going to create as a single partition and mount as one directory. However, I am unsure as to which directory is going to become most used (in terms of the number of files/directories). On the new server the '/var/www/xymon' directory has nothing in it, but according to our old server it contains the 'rep' and 'snap' subdirectories which contain the most data (5GB each).
If both 'rep' and 'snap' can have most of their data deleted (which I think they can), then perhaps the partition should be assigned to '/var/lib/xymon' since (on the old server) it contains the 'hostdata' and 'histlogs' subdirectories, which in total are at just over 6GB at the moment.
Any thoughts about this?
I have been using the terabithia rpms for several years and can confirm that most of the data is indeed in /var/lib/xymon.
