标签归档：pmlogger占用大量空间

最近在多个客户的oracle linux 8.10的机器上发现/var/log/pcp/pmlogger目录占用空间过大,比如

[root@oracledb lib]# df -h

pmlogger 是 Performance Co-Pilot（PCP）的核心组件，用于采集、归档系统 / 应用性能指标，生成可回放的 PCP 归档日志，支撑离线追溯分析与长期性能基线管理。它通过 PMCD（Performance Metrics Collector Daemon）获取指标，按配置策略记录并维护多卷归档，配合 PCP 工具链实现全链路性能分析。
这个本身是一个系统性能指标采集监控的重要工具,但是由于某种原因导致占用磁盘空间过大,而且大部分情况下有另外的监控来取代,引起大部分情况下，可以考虑关闭相关服务，并清空相关日志，避免出现磁盘空间不足的情况
