Sheriff CSM™

Purge Old System Logs

You should delete Sheriff CSM system logs and/or old event logs on a regular basis, otherwise the appliance may run out of space. Starting from version 5.2.1, Sheriff CSM adds a pre-check to its update-script so that the update fails if the machine does not have enough disk space.

To purge old system logs and/or clear system update caches

1. Connect to the Sheriff Console through SSH and use your credentials to log in.

   The Sheriff Setup menu displays.

2. Select Maintenance & Troubleshooting.

3. Select Maintain Disk and Logs.

4. Select Clear System Update Caches to remove the local repository of the downloaded package files.

5. Alternatively, select Purge Old System Logs to remove the compressed (.gz) files in /var/log.

6. Press Enter after the process completes.
