events deleted from web gui take longer than expected to be deleted from filesystem

Post by thermionic »

1.2.9 on a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04

RUN_AUDIT is ticked
AUDIT_CHECK_INTERVAL is set to 900

I haven't timed it, but it looks more like 15 hours before events are deleted from disk rather than 15 minutes

Have I misunderstood the documentation ?

Cheers

Depends. AUDIT_MIN_AGE = 86400 or 24 hours. So, if what you are trying to remove is younger than 24 hours it will remain until it ages.
