log files not getting deleted ??

Hi Folks

I have this in my broctl.cfg file:

# Location of the log directory. This is longer term storage for rotated logs.
LogDir = /home/sensors/data/test1/bro-logs

# Rotation interval in seconds for log files on manager/standalone node.
LogRotationInterval = 3600

# Expiration interval for log files in LogDir. Files older than this many days
# will be deleted upon running "broctl cron".
LogExpireInterval = 3

# Lower threshold for space available on the disk that holds SpoolDir. If less
# space is available, BroControl starts sending out warning emails.
MinDiskSpace = 5

but I have weeks of logs in the directory ??

and I have to keep pruning it by hand when the system runs out of disk.

And yes I have checked the con logs to make sure broctl cron is getting run :wink:

Any ideas how to figure out what is wrong?

Did you remember to do "broctl install" after you changed the
value of LogExpireInterval ?
