Clear Journal logs on Linux host

Date Posted: 29-04-2018

We ran out of disk space on our server and /var consumes more disk space. On checking further, /var/log/journal consumes more disk space.

The safest way to remove unnecessary entries via journalctl

journalctl --vacuum-size=128M

Now, verify journalctl.

journalctl --verify

Edit SystemMaxuse on /etc/systemd/journald.conf

vi /etc/systemd/journald.conf

SystemMaxUse=128M
