Netbackup appliance : Log Partition usage crossed 95%
Hi all,
I'm getting the following alerts from one for the netbackup appliance , this is our media server
I have enabled logging to max, now i started getting alerts that its growing and it is almost 95% full.
From where can cleanup these logs in the cli; kindly help if there is any procedure or article on how to clean up this partition.

The /log/crash directory is where core dumps from programs that crash end up. Some revs of netbackup have processes that core dump all to regularly. You can pretty safely delete files from /log/core/ assuming you are not using them to debug a problem with netbackup.
The /log/netbackup/ directory has a whole subset of directories. These contain the traditional netbackup logs. You can fairly safely clean up files in the subdirectories under /log/netbackup/. Again you may want them to debug problems, but you can not keep them all forever. Go to /log/netbackup/ and run the du command again and you will see which directories to focus on in that area. You also probably should look at how verbose you have the logging set. You may want to turn it down a bit if it is set at a high level.
