Description

This is a systemd timer that runs daily and removes from ElasticSearch logs older than N days.

This is done because Nimbus generates a metric shitton of TRACE logs.

Configuration

The main configuration values are:

logclean_es_host: '127.0.0.1'
logclean_es_port: 9200
logclean_index_regex: 'logstash-*'
logclean_keep_indices: 120
logclean_service_name: 'logclean-job'
logclean_service_timeout: 60
logclean_timer_frequency: 'daily'

For sake of security minimum for logclean_keep_indices is 60.

Usage

To check the timer status use:

 $ sudo systemctl list-timers logclean-job.timer
NEXT                         LEFT     LAST PASSED UNIT               ACTIVATES
Sat 2020-02-08 00:00:00 UTC  10h left n/a  n/a    logclean-job.timer logclean-job.service

You can check job logs using:

 $ sudo journalctl -o cat -a -u logclean-job.service
