Massive Server Log: (116GB file + 2.9GB file)

[benfa 0]

Not sure if normal or not but i noticed my main disk (SSD) usage was at 100% came to find tham emby logs accounted for 119GB of my 250GB disk.

 

I think it might be some form of run-away log issue?

by running

sudo du -hsx /var/lib/emby-server/logs/* | sort -rh | head -n 35

you can see the 35 biggest log files. here are my top 5:
 

116G    /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639475200.txt
2.9G    /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639388800.txt
45M     /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639302400.txt
35M     /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639216000.txt
936K    /var/lib/emby-server/logs/server-63639189005.txt

I've removed the files from my server now, but just incase anyone else had the issue.

Do you have any plugins installed?

Do you have any plugins installed?

Yes

Pushbullet Notification Version: 3.0.6143.20390

TVHClient Version: 1.0.6412.32565 (Official plugin for tvh soon, please?)

 

neither of these seem to have logging options.

 

it's worth noting that I have transcoding via VAAPI enabled.

 

could be the ffmpeg output...

Try removing those plugins and see if the issue persists. Thanks.
