logs filling root disk

[jonasled]

Hi, my PBS had a full boot disk, after some research the problem was the log folder, which used 80GB. Is it possible to automatic clear this folder?

Hi,

Which log folder exactly?

/var/log/proxmox-backup/

In this folder all task logs are stored.

In this folder all task logs are stored.

well, yes but in a sub folder, there are other logs in there too, so to be sure: is it really in /var/log/proxmox-backup/tasks or e.g., in /var/log/proxmox-backup/api.

The version in use would be also interesting: proxmox-backup-manager versions --verbose

For tasks IIRC there was a recent fix in PBS `2.0.13-1` which also cleaned up the tasks once their reference got rotated out of the index.

The PBS is still running a older version, so I think the update should fix this problem.
