Issue

Large LVE snapshot files in /var/lve/snapshots/*/

How to reduce snapshot files size?

How to reduce the number of LVE snapshot files?

Environment

• CloudLinux
• LVE Stats

Solution

1. To reduce LVE snapshot files size, the following configuration options can be tuned in/etc/sysconfig/lvestats.config/SnapshotSaver.cfg:

   snapshots_per_minute=1
   max_snapshots_per_incident=5
   compresslevel=5

2.  "keep_history_days" parameter in the "/etc/sysconfig/lvestats2"  can be used to set the number of days that snapshots will be stored on disk 

3. Restart lvestats service to apply the changes:

   systemctl restart lvestats

Cause

Currently, the whole SQL query payload is stored in a snapshot when user hit some LVE limit. No matter how big it is.
