[cobalt-users] site log file sizes

[Mark Roebuck <mroebuck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I was checking the disk usage on a raq4 today and noticed that one of my own
sites was using a large amount of disk space (823.6mb). On further
investigation I found that it was mainly in the sites log dir:

du --max-depth=1
693211  ./logs


/home/sites/site23/logs

drwxr-s---   2 nobody   site23       1024 Oct 24 06:12 .
drwxrwx--x  10 nobody   site23       1024 May 25 17:08 ..
-rw-------   1 root     site23      85528 Jun  9 04:02 ftp.cache
-rw-r--r--   1 root     site23     744102 Jun  9 04:02 ftp.log

-rw-r--r--   1 root     site23    2027206 Oct 24 06:12 web.stats

The site is quite a busy site compared to others on my servers

The stats for yesterdays traffic is

Is this kind of log size normal or is something going wrong?

Thanks
