Nightly disk space shortage

hmm posting here reminded me that yeah - td-agent-bit has been a problem in the past too CPU usage grows until next reboot - caused by td-agent-bit

While suspicious, this may not be the actual root cause.

I see 2 things happening in my logs during this time period

  • man-db regeneration
  • log file rotation

the log file rotation causes td-agent-bit (the logging agent) to find new files to rotate etc.
