Hi,

I found a couple of ways to empty out an existing large file, using Output 
redirection " > filename " or "truncate -s 0 filename ".

I checked after emptying the file and I see the logs continue normally.

This way, I don't need to delete the pod or kill a process.

Subject: Re: [onap-discuss] How to clear logs

Hi,
It is a good question as I have had my disk filled before too.

I have removed the massive .json log file from /var/lib/docker/containers/*/* 
in the past after stopping the container and docker daemon but I would not 
suggest unless you were okay with having to re-deploy the pod as I have had 
mixed success.

I think we need to add some documentation to the K8s cluster build requirements 
to enable some sort of log rotation for the docker containers.
I found this:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging/

Kubernetes currently is not responsible for rotating logs, but rather a 
deployment tool should set up a solution to address that. For example, in 
Kubernetes clusters, deployed by the kube-up.sh script, there is a 
logrotate<https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate> tool configured to run each 
hour

By default, the docker daemon uses json-file as its logging driver and this 
thing comes out of the box with an unlimited size.

https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/json-file/#usage

Try setting “--log-opt max-size=[SIZE]m” in your k8s nodes where docker is 
running to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks,
Mandeep

Subject: [onap-discuss] How to clear logs

Hi,

I was able to resolve an issue with an ONAP OOM Pod that resulted in a log file 
filling up 95% of the disk space.

Now, what if I need to clear the logs of an ONAP OOM pod ? What is the correct 
process ?

Thanks.
