Hi, first thank you very much for the NFSen tool suit, it is a great piece of monitoring solution. I am currently trying to solve the same "issue" Ewald was addressing in his December email, meaning keeping my disk usage within fixed boundaries. My requirement: to have a process pruning the oldest Nfcapd capture files in profile data without impacting my "live" profile, and depending profiles, stats. The pruning would of course limit the ability to go back in the past to draw detailed report to the still existing nfcapd files. But the profile would continue to provide graphing and reporting on the current data and would keep a graph history of the report filters associated with channels Reading the help in stats, I was not so sure of the meaning of "expiring", basically whether it was meaning what is described above (pruning capability) or if it was meaning that the profile would turn into a history profile. Based on the answers to Ewald, I deduced that the answer would be the first alternative. To test that I defined a Max Size in my "live" channel and waited for the result. The result has been that when the defined limit was reached, my profiles-data directory, and sub-directories, was no more existing. Everything was gone, including the directory structure and the root directory. My live profile was no more processing live data. On the other hand, the stat directory, and all dependencies, was still there. It seems that I missed a point somewhere. How should I proceed to implement the pruning scheme defined above? How can I reactivate my current live profile? (I changed back the max size to 0 and tried "nfsen reconfig" without success - It seems that I need to stop nfsen, recreate manually the directory tree to allow Nfsen to correctly invoke nfcapd then restart nfsen)
