Does anyone keep say 30 days worth of data in the new 11g Architecture? Example: find ${ORACLE_BASE}/diag/rdbms -name "* .trc" -type f -atime -{NUMBER_KEEPDAYS} -exec ls -ltr {} \; (or xargs instead of exec) *.trc *.trm *.ams *.stg *.mif *.ir Could you just blanket remove all files, (or do the six file types specifically)? I created an SR once for this and essentially the analyst said yes. However, I'd like a second opinion as I am not sure of all the file types yet. For instance in alert/log.xml appears to rotate at 1M, but is there any cleanup to purge old files? Etc. wondering what the rest of the community is doing in this regard.
