AW: Logfile Size

[Sand Philipp]

Which Nagios Version are you using?
Logfile size depends on how many Nagios events happen, and how many hosts/services you monitor in Nagios, and how many reloads you perform.
In Nagios 2.0b3 Logfile sizes decrease rapidly. Our Logfiles had been about 50MB per day, with 2.0b3 they're only 7MB (we had a lot of restarts because of perfparse).
I regularly compress the logfiles I don't need, this helps, too...
