I have approximately 610 devices I’m currently monitoring in my environment, and I noticed the the /logs are currently eating up a large amount of space around 153 Gig.!
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 347G 199G 131G 61% /
Trying to keep the system healthy going forward, and wanted to know the best practice for removing old log files.
If the logs that eats your disk are in this format `librenms-YYYY-MM-DD.log
Run php artisan cache:clear and remove those files.
Dont worry, its safe to remove them.
The correct ones are librenms.log(-YYYYMMDD) and daily.log(-YYYYMMDD)

As I said, remove all the librenms-YYYY-MM-DD ones
