Issue/Introduction

Aria Automation is down.

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.x

Cause

 When 'VMware Identity Manager Cluster Auto-Recovery' feature runs, it creates multiple pgservice.log.backup files under the  /var/log/pgService filling out the space in this directory (and hence the root directory) causing the Postgres Service down.

Resolution

1. Delete manually the pgService.log.backup files

2. Can create a cron job by creating job in with crontab file.:

edit the crontab:
(using command - crontab -e) and pasting this line:
0 * * * * rm /var/log/pgService/*.backup                                         <---  removes the current backup file
0 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate  /etc/logrotate.d/pgservicelog

systemctl restart crond

Additional Information

0 3 1 * * /usr/bin/rm -f /var/log/pgService/*.backup >/dev/null 2>&1       <--- remove the backup files on 1st of every month at 3:00 AM
