whats the safe way to delete or reload log files?

[steve]

whats the safest way?
just delete and reboot?
will reports also not show anymore if delete log files?

[steve]

an example
/var/log/newfies/celery-newfies-node1.log: 1.8G
/var/log/newfies/newfies-django.log: 368M
/var/log/wtmp.1: 98M
/var/lib/mysql/ibdata1: 874M
/usr/share/plivo/tmp/plivo-cache.log: 418M
/usr/share/plivo/tmp/plivo-rest.log: 3.4G
/usr/share/plivo/tmp/plivo-outbound.log: 3.9G
/usr/local/freeswitch/log/cdr-csv/Master.csv: 122M
/root/mp3s.jbc: 3.5G
/root/data/oldcomputer.jbc: 1.0G
/tmp/redis.swap: 20G
/core: 370M

I will advice to configure a log rotate for the newfies / plivo logs file.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3856434/how-to-enable-rotation-of-log-files-for-celeryd-with-djcelery

For log rotation on Ubuntu, if you have your celery log in
/var/log/celery/ celeryd.log you can use a configuration like the one
above to do weekly log rotation with /etc/logrotate.d/.

/var/log/celery/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
copytruncate

[steve]

ok so if it logrotates does it affect stats?

[Areski]

I am not to understand your question.

[steve]

Do the stats for example cdr stats read from log files or mysql
if i delete log files do i delete any reporting data

[Areski]

The documentation explains intensively the mechanism and process to import CDRs.

Briefly, our logs files are just for tracing/logging purpose.
