[Spacewalk-list] jabberd log files

[Hagberg, Keith]

Kind of confused about the whole jabber database. Looking in the sm.xml file it says sqlite is the default.

Also wondering why the log files are filling up so quick. Wondering if it is all these scheduled daily events

Show differences between profiled config files and deployed config files scheduled by (none)

we're still on 1.2 here, but had a similar problem.
the files in /var/lib/jabberd/db/ were taking up huge amounts of space, 
and the database was frequently becoming corrupt, and needing to be 
re-created.
in the end we switched to sqlite, which solved both the space problem, and 
the the corruption problem.

looking through command history, it looks like this is how to set up 
sqlite:

#-
cd /var/lib/jabberd/db
cp /usr/share/jabberd/db-setup.sqlite .
sqlite3 sqlite.db < db-setup.sqlite
#-

probably after removing/moving the original db folder.
after this, on each client, we had to run:

#-
rm -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth.conf
/etc/init.d/osad restart
#-

to get osad running again - though i don't think this should necessarily 
be required.

also, i don't believe this is expected behaviour, so there may be a better 
known fix.

thanks,

richard.
