I am having an issue with Atop installed on Debian Jessie which consumed a lot of disk.
After my investigation I found something:
- Many log files not being compressed
There are many log files which are stored in /home/logs/atop/, however they are not compressed as expected
[root@Ser1:~]# ll /home/logs/atop/ total 103796

- Strange process
When I checked on the current processing with ps -ef | grep atop
, there are tons of things that are currently running, from very old time
[root@Ser1:~]# ps -ef | grep atop

So this makes me wonder if this atop is hang somehow?
- ATOP is not running when I run command [root@Ser1:~]# atop
Moreover, when I wanted to check atop config files (which should be the file which indicate how the atop logs are store like atop.daily in Centos) I have no way to find it in Debian.
Could you please help me on this matter?
How to make Atop stop running such many of "hang" processes like that and how to make the log rotated?
Thank you so much
