https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/How-to-resolve-space-issue-in-cloudera-management-server/m-p/66503#M47275 <P>If you delete the log files that end with a number (e.g. mgmt-cmf-mgmt-NAVIGATORMETASERVER-my.node.com.log.out.<STRONG>1</STRONG>), then you will have no issue. Don't delete the ones with ".log" suffix, because they are open for writing by services.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Suppose that you have</P><P>Max Logs Size = 200MB</P><P>Maximum Log File Backups = 10</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>That means that each time your .log file reaches 200MB will be rolled, for ten times in total (will be copied to .log.1, .log.2,.....,.log.10). So in total, the log files of a service can occupy up to ((10* 200MB) + 200MB)=2200MB.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Depending on your disk size you can reduce only one or both of them, depending on what is better for you.</P><P>E.g. if you don't want so big files you can set "Max Log Size"=100MB, that means ((10*100MB) + 100MB) = 1100 MB.</P><P>So just reducing this parameter into half, you save 1100MB of disk space.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The same applies to all services.</P> Wed, 18 Apr 2018 08:54:10 GMT GeKas 2018-04-18T08:54:10Z
