To manually delete the outdated data from the event database, remove all files that are older than X days.
Before deleting anything, use this command to check what will be deleted:
find /data/eventdb/ -type f -mtime +150 -name '*' -exec ls -lh {} \;
find /data/eventdb/ -type f -mtime +<number of days> -name '*' -exec rm -rfv {} \;
For example, to remove all the data and events older than 150 days, run the following:
find /data/eventdb/ -type f -mtime +150 -name '*' -exec rm -rfv {} \;
Note:
This example illustrates the removal of data that is 150 days old. This number can be adjusted based on specific requirements.
