            Bug ID: 66458
           Summary: Service diamond creates 500+ MByte
                    /var/log/diamond/diamond.log
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: [email protected]

I had to delete those files and restart the diamond service on the Tools host
because they were clogging up /var/log.

Chase explained in #wikimedia-operations:

| <scfc_de> chasemp: What is /var/log/diamond/diamond.log and is it necessary?
| <chasemp> scfc_de: it's the local log of the statistics polling, it's not
|           necessary in that it won't work without it, but it doesn't logging
|           those details to stdout seemingly so upstart logging isn't useful
in
|           those cases.  it's handy but not could-never-live-without

So I'd propose that on Labs, by default this log isn't generated.  A Puppet
variable could override this default if there is wider demand for that.
