Metrics sucking up disk space and no way to configure a retention policy or limit about ongdb

[bradnussbaum]

Have you tried the following config?

# The file size in bytes at which the csv files will auto-rotate. If set to zero then no
# rotation will occur. Accepts a binary suffix `k`, `m` or `g`.
metrics.csv.rotation.size=100m

# Maximum number of history files for the csv files.
metrics.csv.rotation.keep_number=7

No I haven't but I'll give it a shot right now. Where did you dig those settings up from? The confusion that comes with 1.0.4 at least, didn't include them.

After adding them to my ongdb.conf and restarting, it didn't execute any rotation. My 2nd instance has 7gb of metrics files. Should be rotation prune these old files outside the normal rotation window? I'll set it on my 1st instance where I deleted the old csv files and see if it stays under control over the week.
