hi,

I realized that my asterisk is using lots of space…

10955105932 /var/log/asterisk/full

is it safe to just delete the logs? can this be done automatically?

I’m using FreePBX

thanks

Hi

You need to make sure that logrotate is setup.

Large logfiles can and DO cause instability in asterisk, We have seen large logfiles cause crashed in in High capacity servers.

For now just delete it and at the asterisk cli type logger rotate
