Purging old stats #154

Closed lravelo closed 7 years ago

lravelo commented 7 years ago

I'm already on v6.5. Never tried to purge old stats before but I need to regain some disk space. I did read about this issue here but wanted to know if there was a way I could test prior to changing the code (I never upgraded to v6.5 that's the version I originally installed).

Right now on logrotate I run the following: /usr/bin/squid-analyzer -d /opt/data/logs/squid3/access.log.1

Is this where I would need to modify in order to tell squidanalyzer to purge anything older than, say, 6 months by doing something like this?: /usr/bin/squid-analyzer -d -p 6 /opt/data/logs/squid3/access.log.1

Yes, if you want to just keep the last 6 month use --preserve 6 or -p 6, so use the following command in your logrotate:

/usr/bin/squid-analyzer -p 6 /opt/data/logs/squid3/access.log.1

It will do the same work as before but will remove all statistics older than 6 month.

Regards

good morning. I've tried this and, while I see the following message:

Obsolete statistics before 2016-08

it still doesn't purge the records.

darold commented 7 years ago

SquidAnalyzer use /bin/rm -rf DIR to remove the obsolete directories, perhaps this is the wrong path of the rm command or your system doesn't have this command.

lravelo commented 7 years ago

I have verified that /bin/rm exists in all servers running this application.

Version 6.6 might solve this issue.
