RE: how to delete logs automatically from hadoop yarn

[Mich Talebzadeh]

I don’t think there is such configuration to trigger automatic removal of older 
files say more than 7 days through cron or Control M

 

 

# Clean up directory - get rid of old files

 

for i in $LOGDIR:14 $TMPDIR:4 $ETCDIR:7

do

        THE_DIR=`echo $i|awk -F":" '{print $1}'`

        NO_DAYS=`echo $i|awk -F":" '{print $2}'`

        find $THE_DIR -mtime +${NO_DAYS} -exec rm -f {} \;

done

#

Hi Rohith,

Thanks for your solution. The actual problem we are looking at is : We have a 
lifelong running application, so configurations by which logs will be deleted 
right after application is finished will not help us.

Because of these continuous logs, we are running out of Linux file limit and 
thereafter containers are not launched because of exception while creating log 
directory inside application ID directory.

During the job execution itself, let’s say I want to delete container logs 
which are older than week or so. So is there any configuration to do that? 

 

Thanks,

Smita

Hi 

 

With below configuration , log deletion should be triggered.  You can see from 
the log that deletion has been set to 3600 sec in NM like below. May be you can 
check NM logs for the below log that give debug information.

“INFO 
org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.nodemanager.containermanager.loghandler.NonAggregatingLogHandler:
 Scheduling Log Deletion for application: application_1428298081702_0008, with 
delay of 10800 seconds”

 

But there is another configuration which affect deletion task is 
“yarn.nodemanager.delete.debug-delay-sec”, default value is zero. It means 
immediately deletion will be triggered. Check is this is configured?

  <property>

    <description>

      Number of seconds after an application finishes before the nodemanager's 

      DeletionService will delete the application's localized file directory

      and log directory.

      

      To diagnose Yarn application problems, set this property's value large

      enough (for example, to 600 = 10 minutes) to permit examination of these

      directories. After changing the property's value, you must restart the 

      nodemanager in order for it to have an effect.

 

      The roots of Yarn applications' work directories is configurable with

      the yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs property (see below), and the roots

      of the Yarn applications' log directories is configurable with the 

      yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs property (see also below).

    </description>

    <name>yarn.nodemanager.delete.debug-delay-sec</name>

    <value>0</value>

  </property>

 

 

Thanks & Regards
