    vbseo_sitemap/data and data/hits log files...

    I was just checking those folders and there is a massive amount of log files in those folders.

    Do I need to keep all of these and is there a way to limit the amount of space they consume so that I don't have to go in and delete these every so often?


    Thanks!

    Log files in vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder contain the history of generated sitemaps (with details like number of URLs). You can clean up the list either in vbseo_sitemap/ interface or directly via FTP if you wish.
    Logs in vbseo_sitemap/data/hits/ contain SE bots activity, one file per day. You can remove them as well, if you don't need these stats.
    All these files are small in size usually though (a few Kb).

    So is there some way to set a limit on the size of the folder... over a few years it could get rather large altogether.

    Currently it is not possible to automatically limit the number of log files.

    I setup a cron job to take care of it for me:

    1 0 * * * find /home/www/vbseo_sitemap/data -ctime +5 -name "*.log" | xargs rm -f

    Gets rid of files over 5 days old... Works like a champ...
