disk space growth

[jvdb]

Hi,

The disk space on our server is currently growing really fast.. since last week its been growing by GB's daily.
I have attached a screenshot.

We haven't changed anything during that time and I can't seem to pinpoint why this is happening.

Hi,

Can you share a screenshot of the command : df -h (on zabbix server)

To see how your disk is built.

Thanks

Is the zabbix database located on the same disk? is this a growing base?

Perhaps some process writes a lot of information to logs - check the directory with logs (usually /var/log).
use the du utility to determine the space occupied by directories (or better, install the ncdu utility - it is much more convenient and clearer)

this is how the disk is build up

The database is on the same disk, although it didn't grow so fast at all in the last months since we installed a new server with a fresh installation of zabbix.
this is currently in our /var/log directory:


Quite a lot of logs, but not really big.


I have checked the database location for Zabbix and notice the audit log is 100GB:

although we have the audit set to 7 days and i have ran housekeeping a couple of times manually to try to clear it out

[jvdb]

its the ibdata1 file that grew like crazy.


is there something we can to stop this?

Google about option "innodb_file_per_table" in the mysql config

Do you have version between 6.0 and 6.06 ?
there was a bug where the auditlog grew and never got trimmed.
I ran 6.04 for a year and had a 231GB auditlog.

[jvdb]

we run Zabbix 6.4.3, but we have ran 6.0 and 6.06
we dumped the audit log and recreated it

I did this a week and a half ago and it seems to have fixxed the issue.

Thanks for all the responses!
