A. The log files could be the only source of information available to trace a problem or security issues. Log files keep growing every day as new logging data are appended onto existing log files. If you failed to manage log files, it will eat out disk space and no space will be left on filesystem to store user data. To avoid such problems try following solutions:
Keep log files in a separate filesystem
Never ever store /var/log or /var/adm and all other location on a / (root) filesysem. Always store all log files on a separate filesystem to maintain the security, integrity and performance of the system.Control the growth of system log files
There are varios approaches to control the growth of system log files.Option # 1: Manually truncate log file
Use any one of the following command to truncate log file:# >/var/log/log.file
OR
# cat /dev/null > /usr/adm/log.file
