Thanks. I managed to  make a copy of cocoon.log , checker.log and 
handle-plugin.log      and managed to recover 2GB. Now I am wondering of the 
dspace.log.2010-12-21 and   dspace.log.2010-12-21.solr which one are necessary 
for computation of access statistics.

Hi Admire,

 

There is interesting information that lives in old logs. You could in the 
future build something to count how many queries have been performed on your 
system, see how popular your RSS feeds are, look at errors users encounter, etc.

 

So, if your concerned with space and backup time, you could either move your 
old logs off of your production server, and move them to another server that 
works more as an "archive". Or.. you could just tar/zip up some old logs to 
compress them which will save a massive amount of space. So that when you need 
the logs in the future, you can just extract them.

 

The dspace.log logs are important. Cocoon.log is not important.

I wouldn't recommend altering the contents of dspace.log, but if you've had 
debug mode on for an extended period of time, you might want to remove debug 
entries.

Hi

 

I have been running dspace for a while. Now my dspace directory is over 13GB in 
size. My assetstore directory is under 700MB. My dspace log is the one that is 
over 9GB.  The size is taking a toll on my backup. I know I have to preserve 
the logs  in the interest of access statistics. But  I believe not all the log 
entries contribute to  access statistics. So   I am wondering which log entries 
can  I delete from the log directory?

 

 

 

Kind Regards,
