answer journalctl storage

journalctl storage

Comment

# To delete all archived journal files except the most recent:
journalctl --vacuum-time=1s

# Explanation:
# This command removes all stored logs except for the most recent ones, effectively minimizing the disk space used by journal logs.

# To see the disk space currently used by journal logs:
journalctl --disk-usage

# Explanation:
# This command displays the total amount of disk space used by journalctl logs, helping you understand the storage impact of your system's logs.

# To manage journalctl storage by limiting the size of log files:
sudo sed -i 's/#SystemMaxUse=/SystemMaxUse=500M/' /etc/systemd/journald.conf
sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald

# Explanation:
# This set of commands modifies the systemd journal configuration to limit the maximum disk space used by journal logs to 500 megabytes and then restarts the systemd-journald service to apply the change. Adjust the '500M' value as needed to increase or decrease the space limit.
