Hello,
I have 2 openldap servers running on Ubuntu 12.04. One is the primary and the other is a slave. My problem is that ldap keeps dumping files into that directory log.00000000001 then log.000000002 and so on thus filling up the drive. Is it safe to remove these logs? How do i know which one it is still using. Ideally it would be great for the server to automatically remove the log once it was done using it. I could set up a cronjob to prune it but I don't know how far back it needs to the logs to be.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Those are BDB logs. If you have a checkpoint defined in your slapd config, you can enable automatic log deletion of unused files by properly configuring your DB_CONFIG file for your BDB database.

BDB transaction logs. See DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE.
Thank you. I will configure the DB_CONFIG file for DB log autoremove. I did not know that was available. Thanks again.
