Ramlog full (No space left on device)

Thanks for Ramlog.

 

I have installed Armbian_5.35_Micro_Debian_stretch_next_4.13.16 and not done anything in terms of Ramlog setup.

 

What should I do when it is full? Or to avoid that it gets full?

 

Symptoms:

* Aptitude complained about "no space left on device" on exit.

* df:

root@micro:~# df -h
Filesystem           Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                 432M     0  432M   0% /dev

tmpfs                100M     0  100M   0% /run/user/0

* usage:

root@micro:~# du /var/log/* | sort -n

10208	/var/log/openhab2
14912	/var/log/syslog.1
18084	/var/log/daemon.log.1

I know that openHAB2 is causing the majority of the log messages. That's the purpose of that computer.

 

How can I increase the amount of RAM used for Ramlog, or make the log rotation more aggressive?

Apparently, I can't:

root@micro:~# armbianmonitor -u
System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to /usr/bin/armbianmonitor: line 374: [: -gt: unary operator expected

Interesting.

 

In the meantime I had deleted the largest file in /var/log, but this is not reflected in the output of df for the log2ram filesystem.

 

After the armbianmonitor error, I tried rebooting and manually unmounting /var/log in an attempt to maybe get armbianmonitor -u to work, but no success.

 

My openhab2 continues to run just fine on that device.

I have now found

root@micro:~# find / -name log2ram*
/etc/default/log2ram

Where I can increase the size of that file system.

I can still not upload armbianmonitor - seems like the armbian server has trouble:

root@micro:~# armbianmonitor -u
System diagnosis information will now be uploaded to curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

I would still like advice how to increase the logrotate aggressiveness - delete old logs earlier, so they do not take as much space in ramlog.

External services which we used to use is down. It was already changed in the trunk but haven't got to the stable builds yet. If you move to beta (and risk other possible problems) and update ...

The general advice is to pay attention not to fill it up, otherwise, tweak this problem with some script. You could also make it bigger but again not too big, to lose memory.

For more aggressive log rotation, I have now changed /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog like this:

root@micro:~# diff /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog{~,} -u

 		invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null

And created a new logrotate file for openhab2:

root@micro:~# cat /etc/logrotate.d/openhab2
/var/log/openhab2/*.log
{
	rotate 4
	daily
	missingok
	ifempty
	compress
	postrotate
		service openhab2 restart
	endscript
}

Invoking these files with logrotate --force --verbose <filename> produces no error, and performs the expected operations.

 

If this works out in the long run, I can probably reduce the ramlog size back to 50MB.
