openprovo-mirror.i.o.o logrotate + OCSP
0%
Description
I joined the machine due to a low disk space warning and found couple dozen gigabytes of nginx log files. I deleted all the archives in /var/log/ for now, but I wonder if the logrotate configuration shouldn't be set to more sane levels.
Do we really need one year of webserver logs?
There are lots of OCSP errors as well, the Let's Encrypt r3.o.lencr.org server seems to not be reachable using ping, though it is from my workstation. Other IPv6 servers on the internet are ping-able just fine from provo-mirror. Weirdly nginx logs "no route to host" although there does seem to be a route with ping (just no response).

Almost certainly not :-) that sounds like the default configuration. Probably no one has felt really responsible for provo-mirror.
I would suggest keeping
- 30 days of logs on the machine,
- archiving for a year (on backup.i.o.o).
Where did you get a low disk-space warning from? nagios?

30 days of logs on the machine,
Sounds reasonable.
archiving for a year (on backup.i.o.o).
Through some rsync job similar to the one on pontifex2? If we want this on multiple machines it would be great to just set a flag somewhere in Salt... ;-)

Found it in Icinga.

Right and right. The rsync job on pontifex works really well, I am amazed I had not come across that logrotate pre-remove option before.

Shouldn't we have some sort of option for an email alert?
