2TB seems very little for a data hoarder like me, I happen to have ~30TB of storage at home. 

10-14TB hard drives are not really so expensive.

While I totally agree that we should control/limit better what we collect, I wonder if we should not aim to get a setup where we do not struggle with disk space, where we can keep logs for ~60 days without having to think too much about running out of disk space.

Another approach which I used in the past was a cleanup script that was removing old builds based on their age as long the free disk space was under a specific value (10%?). That means a dynamic retention period.

Thanks

Hi all,

For the last few days, I have been monitoring a spike in disk space utilization for logs.rdoproject.org. The current situation is:

- 94% of space used, with less than 140GB out of 2TB available.
- The log pruning script has been reclaiming less space than we are using for new logs during this week.
- I expect the situation to improve over the weekend, but we're definitely running out of space.

I have looked at a random job (https://review.opendev.org/639324, patch set 26), and found that each run is consuming 1.2 GB of disk space in logs. The worst offenders I have found are:

- atop.bin.gz files (one per job, 8 jobs per recheck), ranging between 15 and 40 MB each
- logs/undercloud/home/zuul/tempest/.stackviz directory on tripleo-ci-centos-7-ovb-3ctlr_1comp-featureset001 jobs, which is a virtualenv eating up 81 MB.

Can we sync up w/ how you are calculating these results as they do not match our results.
I see each job consuming about 215M of space, we are close on stackviz being 83M. Oddly I don't see atop.bin.gz in our calculations so I'll have to look into that.
I've checked it directly using du on the logserver. By 1.2 GB I meant the aggregate of the 8 jobs running for a single patchset. PS26 is currently using 2.5 GB and had one recheck.

About the atop.bin.gz file:

# find . -name atop.bin.gz -exec du -sh {} \;

Can I safely delete all .stackviz directories? I guess that would give us some breathing room.

Yup, go for it
 

Regards,
Javier

Each job reports the size of the logs e.g. [1]


As a temporary measure, I am reducing log retention from 21 days to 14, but we still need to reduce the rate at which we are uploading logs. Would it be possible to check the oooq-generated logs and see where we can reduce? These jobs are by far the ones consuming most space.

Thanks,
Javier
