> The key to getting good answers
is to ask good questions. Apparently, I'm not quite asking "good questions" this weekend. I was looking for a more integrated view of journald so I could differentiate the advice given in this thread, and see how the two approaches provided in this thread converge or diverge. (Why do I feel like a mathematician right now?) None of the 4 sources: the Fedora sys. admin. guide, the digitalocean tutorial, the journalctl man page, and the journald.conf man page quite do it, separately or together. For review, the two approaches are: A. using journald.conf to customize journald, and B. (1) "journalctl --flush --rotate"; (2) "rm -rfv /var/log/journal/*/*@*"; (3) "journalctl --update-catalog --sync". My first question: If I use journald.conf to, say (hypothetical values for now): * have the system start a new journald file each day, and * delete journald files once they're a month old, would I still need to do B above, or will A automatically cause the clean-out of all journald files more than a month old (maybe the next day or after a reboot)? Second question: What is the preferred way of changing the journald configuration? That is, is there some GUI or tool for that, or do I simply edit "/etc/systemd/journald.conf" using my favorite editor (vi)? Third question: My impression is that approach B is only a temporary fix; "/var/log/journal/" would eventually get huge again. Am I correct? thanks, Bill. |
