Use the cleardumps command to clear (or delete) the various dump
directories on a specified node canister.
Syntax
cleardumps -prefix directory_or_file_filter
Parameters
- -prefixdirectory_or_file_filter
- (Required) Specifies the directory, files, or both to be cleared.
If a directory is specified, with no file filter, all relevant dump
or log files in that directory are cleared. You can use the following
directory arguments (filters):
- /dumps (clears all files in all subdirectories)
- /dumps/cimom
- /dumps/cloud
- /dumps/configs
- /dumps/easytier
- /dumps/elogs
- /dumps/feature
- /dumps/iostats
- /dumps/iotrace
- /dumps/mdisk
- /home/admin/update
In addition to the directory, you can specify a filter file.
For example, if you specify /dumps/elogs/*.txt,
all files in the /dumps/elogs directory that
end in .txt are cleared.
Note: The following rules apply to the use of wildcards when using
the CLI:
- nodecanister_id | nodecanister_name
- (Optional) Specifies the node canister to be cleared. The variable that follows the
parameter is either:
- The node canister name, that is, the label that you assigned when you added the canister to the
clustered system (system)
- The node canister ID that is assigned to the canister (not the worldwide canister
name)
Description
If no node
is specified, the configuration node is cleared.
You can clear all the dumps directories
by specifying /dumps as the directory variable.
You
can clear all the files in a single directory by specifying one of
the directory variables.
You
can use this command to clear specific files in a given directory
by specifying a directory or file name. You can use the wildcard character
as part of the file name.
Note: To preserve the configuration and
trace files, any files that match the following wildcard patterns
are not cleared:
- *svc.config*
- *.trc
- *.trc.old
