How to Reduce Disk Space Usage

How to Reduce Disk Space Usage

1. Set Control Panel API Server Logs to Warn:

   • Action: Update the Control panel API logs to only record warnings and errors, preventing unnecessary internal trace messages from being logged.
   • Steps:
     1. Select Settings from the left menu.
     2. Click Platform and scroll to Logs.
     3. Select Warn from the drop-down menu.

2. Clear Out Old Logs:

   • General Action: Look for large files that may be contributing to disk space usage.
   • Steps:
     • Find large files within /var/www:

       find /var/www -name "*.zip" -size +100M
       find /var/www -name "*.sql" -size +100M
       find /var/www -name "*.gz" -size +100M
       

     • Check large container log files:

       find /var/lib/docker/containers -name "*.log*" -size +100M
       

     • Inspect large databases:

       du -hs /var/local/enhance/mysqlcd-data/data/*
       

These actions will help reduce disk space usage by removing unnecessary logs and large files.
