Netgate 5100 disk utilization at 81%

Still look inside /var/db then. Something there is using a lot of space.
-
@stephenw10
That is what I am trying to find out. Can you let me know exactly how to look for this? I am not familiar with the CLI commands. -
@mercadof
du -d 2 -h /var/db“-d” is depth.

Ah ntopng data is using a lot. Are you actively using ntopng?
-
@stephenw10 said in Netgate 5100 disk utilization at 81%:
ntopng
I show it as active. Not sure if I need this running. Is it safe to turn it off?
-
Yes it's an add-on package you can disable it at any time. If you never check it it's not really helping anyway.
You can also just clear it's data too.
-
@stephenw10 I turned it off and unchecked the Keep Data/Settings. Does that clear the data that is already stored? If not how do I clear it?
-
Nope that just means it won't keep it if you uninstall it. There is a 'Delete Data' button at the bottom of the page in Diag > Ntopng Settings.
-
@stephenw10 That worked! Utilization back down to 47%. Thank you so much for your help.
-
No worries. I would still consider adding an SSD. Especially if you're going to continue running ntopng as it writes a lot of data and wares the eMMC. The 5100 is particularly unhelpful if the eMMC ever fails!
-
@stephenw10 I ordered one yesterday. Should be in tomorrow. Looks like a weekend project for me. Thanks again.
