They're just the availability data for an alert entry.
If your device is creating lots of alert entries, I assume they're port entries and it's creating and destroying lots of temporary interfaces for some reason.
If this is happening, you should block these interfaces from being discovered by filtering them out using the relevant config options.

would i be safe to delete alert-*.rrd files ?
afaik these files are not related to interfaces traffic graph history ?
Thank you

managed to see count of files:
so, in mirrored devices there are this count of files:
infra [root@observ001prvitx rrd]# find jaynet01a -type f | wc -l 13249
and in the problematic one:
infra [root@observ001prvitx rrd]# find jaynet01b -type f | wc -l 995349

Something is very strange space in that folder started to increase rapidly ~3months ago.
i even can't to a list of files: of that particular folder.
Now i ran the housekeeping script separately in a screen mode, and
it's
already running ~3hours in that particular folder and still deleting
items:

Hey, Well your housekeeping settings are to not delete RRDs unless they
are
not updated for 2 months. Did this one device with 200GB RRDs have files older than 2 months? If not then none of those RRDs will be deleted for now. /Markus

Hello,
I noticed that Observium started to use up lots of storage space.
From
~200Gb it started to use ~400Gbs. Found interested thing, that one
device
RRD folder tooks ~200GBs instead of ~4-5Gbs. I'm always running housekeeping scripts in cron:
# Run housekeeping script daily for syslog, eventlog and alert log 13 5 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -ysel >> /dev/null
2>&1
# Run housekeeping script daily for rrds, ports, orphaned entries
in
the database and performance data 47 4 * * * root /opt/observium/housekeeping.php -yrptib >>
/dev/null
2>&1
But seems it doesnt help, and housekeeping log doesn't show
errors.
Could someone advice how to clear that files in RRD folder
according to
housekeeping settings which are here:
infra [root@observ001prvitx logs]# cat /opt/observium/includes/defaults.inc.php | grep housekeep
$config['housekeeping']['syslog']['age'] = '1M'; //
Maximum age
of syslog entries; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['eventlog']['age'] = '3M'; //

Maximum age
of unused rrd files before automatically purging; 0 to disable $config['housekeeping']['rrd']['invalid'] = TRUE; // Delete
.rrd
files that are not valid RRD files (eg created with a full disk)
afaik M = month ? _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
