I can delete log file catalina don't stop sever Confluence

[Fedorov Fedor]

Hello.

I can delete old log files logs/Catalina.date.out ? But not stop server Confluence.

I don't have free space now. I'm delete /tmp files, but still very little space was free up.

What files can i delete without stopping the service of Confluence?

Thanx, Fedor.

Ok, thank you Kurt.

You can delete the mentioned files. In parallel you can verify via lsof what open file handles exist.

If the active log file like catalina.out should be the cause of your disk space issues, you could empty it by using

cat /dev/null > catalina.out 

without the need to restart confluence.

Generally speaking you should take a look should https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/working-with-confluence-logs-108364721.html
