Large LVE Snapshot files

Issue

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

How to reduce snapshot files size?

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) 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.
