[cisco-voip] Delete Log Files

[Daniel Pagan]

Adding to Wes's comments for managing consumed disk space on an archive server... For a Windows OS server, the forfiles command with a few options can help with the disk space cleanup as well:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/51054/batch-file-to-delete-files-older-than-n-days

But to the original question, I think it comes down to what needs to be accomplished.

If reducing utilized space on the activelog partition, simply adjusting the total number of files and max file size for specific trace settings would help.

If you need to free disk space for an upcoming upgrade, in addition to what Ryan mention, another approach can be to collect all CCM SDI/SDL files off the cluster via RTMT followed by deleting them from the activelog partition via "file delete activelog cm/trace/ccm/sdl *.txt" and again for sdi traces. Whether or not this helps is of course dependent on your trace settings, but I've taken this approach a handful of times in the past (when in a pinch) to make space for upgrade media. By doing this you make space by removing traces in bulk without actually losing anything. If issues occurring pre-upgrade need to be troubleshooted post-upgrade, the collected/offloaded CCM traces coupled with additional trace files found on the inactivelog partition should be more than sufficient.

Hope this helps.

onbox logging is circular. It will consume as much space as allocated and then loop over that. If something goes awry then Log Partition Manager (LPM) will auto-delete files as necessary.

For Scheduled Trace Collection, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/service/8_6_1/rtmt/rtmt/rttlc.html#wp1048184

No, there is nothing built into CUCM to manage the consumed disk space on the trace archive server. If using a *nix box a cron'd 'find' command does pretty well.

some possible examples:
# find files modified in the last 1 day
find . -type f -mtime -1d

-1d "within 1 day" -mtime n[smhdw]

Guys,

is there any way to delete CUCM log files (aka traces) after x days?

Thanks,  Martin
