Housekeeping

Maintaining the health and efficiency of the Repstance Server involves regular housekeeping tasks. This includes scheduling jobs to clean up “old” trail and log files. Regular cleanup helps prevent storage issues and ensures that the server runs smoothly. Here’s how you can manage these tasks effectively:

1. Schedule Regular Cleanup Jobs: To manage the cleanup of old trail and log files, you can create and schedule regular jobs using cron jobs on your Linux server. These jobs will automatically delete or archive files older than a certain age.

Directories to Clean:

/opt/repstance/trail: This directory contains trail files that log transactions. Regularly removing old trail files ensures that your system’s storage is not overwhelmed.

/opt/repstance/log: This directory contains log files. Regularly cleaning these logs keeps your system organized and prevents log files from consuming too much disk space.

2. Regular Monitoring: It's important to monitor the disk usage and performance regularly to ensure that the cleanup jobs are working as expected and that no necessary files are accidentally deleted.

By scheduling and managing these housekeeping tasks, you can maintain the optimal performance of your Repstance Server, ensuring that it remains efficient and reliable. If you need more customized scripts or further assistance, feel free to reach out!
