Find and manually delete large files from Guardium

Question & Answer


Question

How can I find large and/or old files to manually delete from the Guardium CLI?

Answer

To find files that are over a certain size and age, run the following CLI command:
support show large_files <size> <age>

This command will list all the files larger than <size> MB and older than <age> days in the /var /tmp /root folder



You can then delete a specific file by running the following command:
support clean log_file <full path of file to delete>



If you are not confident on which files to remove, contact Guardium services or support before running this command.
