Management tips

There are several tips that can help keep disk space usage at a minimum:

  • Set all engine output levels to the lowest level possible, unless required for a specific troubleshooting instance.
  • As the administrator, cycle the engine output and SMAT files often. You can do this by automating the cycle process. For example, cron job, perl script.
  • Automate disk cleanup (See Automating maintenance).
  • Cycle all log and saved message files on a regular basis.
