Luke 37231 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi, we currently don't have any settings for this. How many days of logs are in the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburgess 13 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Goes back to the 14th Oct. How on earth log files 18gb? It's killed sonarr and radar! Ace to see emby still functions tho! Btw, this is truly the best media server going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37231 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Can you look through the log files and see if there is a pattern of activity that is filling them up? If you have installed any plugins, they might be spamming the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburgess 13 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I bet its the reporting tool! If I do Sudo RM -r /var/lib/emby/logs/ Will it break emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37231 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Remove all of them except the current active log. But i would look and get an answer first as to what is filling them up. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburgess 13 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 That's getting a bit beyond me tho. I'm no Ubuntu guru. I've tried a few commands etc but nothing shows me anything with logs in the folder by size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37231 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I meant just open the files and glance at them for and log messages that might appear repeatedly. Or if you think it is the reporting plugin you could try removing it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
