SMS Gateway Disk Usage

We are us7ing 2 gateways and 1 SMS. All of them have R80.40 version with a JHF Installed T197. Our SMS Gateway has a total of 4TB storage. The SMS is configured when the disk usage is below 40%, the retention period is for 3 days. So, how can we fix the disk usage issue? Is it possible to take backup and free the disk space? Any possible scenarios would be accepted. Below, I have attached the screenshot of the Storage space. The log ststorage location is /var/log on the SMS gateway.

You can run multiple examples of below command:

find /var/log -size +400000000c

That will look for any files bigger than 400 MBs in /var/log dir...replace 4 with any number to search for relevant size (1 for 100 MBs, 2 for 200 MBs and so on)

example from my lab (R81.20)

[Expert@QUANTUM-MANAGEMENT:0]# find /var/log -size +400000000c
[Expert@QUANTUM-MANAGEMENT:0]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_current 55G 16G 40G 29% /
/dev/sda2 291M 42M 235M 15% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_splat-lv_log 60G 9.5G 51G 16% /var/log
tmpfs 7.8G 25M 7.7G 1% /dev/shm
cgroup 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
[Expert@QUANTUM-MANAGEMENT:0]#

Yeah thank you for the command find. I have found some larger files. But what could I do in order to free up some? space

You can verify with TAC, but Im fairly sure those logs in cpm_doctor dir can be deleted, those are probably really large files. You can do ls -lh on them and verify. Also, check how big backup files is.

I do not see any issue here, please explain ! 66% is OK to most of us...

I guess they must be doing lots of logging...you are right, to most of us, 66% would be fine, but in this case, not really : - )

@the_rock @G_W_Albrecht 

So, how can we take a backup of those old log files and delete the log file from the SMS Server?

You can use rm command to remove them and to back them up, you can connect with win scp application, navigate to right dir, and get them off the box. To enable winscp access temporarily, simply run chsh -s /bin/bash admin command from expert mode (assuming admin name is admin, or whatever else it might be)

To revert back, run chsh -s /etc/cli.sh admin

Cheers,

Andy
