PROGRAM:
NAME
flow-expire — Manage storage of flow file archives by expiring old data.
SYNOPSIS
flow-expire [-h] [-d debug_level] [-e expire_count] [-E expire_size] -w workdir
DESCRIPTION
The flow-expire utility will remove the oldest flow files in a directory based on either a
count of files or space utilization. The directory is recursively searched for flow
files. Files that do not have a flow-tools signature will be ignored. The internal
timestamp is used so backups or copies of the flow files that do not retain the original
timestamp will not impact the operation of flow-expire. flow-expire is typically used to
manage storage in a distributed environment where flows are collected on a different
server than they are archived.
OPTIONS
-d debug_level
Enable debugging.
-e expire_count
Retain the maximum number of files so that the total file count is less than
expire_count.
-E expire_size
Retain the maximum number of files so that the total storage is less than
expire_size. The letters b,K,M,G can be used as multipliers, ie 16 Megabytes is
16M.
-h Display help.
-w workdir
Work in workdir.
EXAMPLES
Remove the oldest flow files in /flows/krc4 until the total storage is less then 2
Gigabytes.
flow-expire -E2Gig -w /flows/krc4
Remove the oldest flow files in /flows/krc4 until the total number of files is less then
100.
flow-expire -e100 -w /flows/krc4
Use flow-expire online using onworks.net services
