Backup is way too large. Trash cleaner not running?

statira

Hi guys, I have a rather old installation of Alfresco

Alfresco Share v5.1.f

Alfresco Community v5.2.0

(r125711-b6) schema 10001

and I noticed that the backup is way too bigger than I think it's supposed to be. If I measure \\alf\alfresco it's about 90GB but if I check out the contentsore directory it's twice that size. The trashcan cleaner is configured

trashcan-cleaner.cron=0 30 * * * ?

trashcan-cleaner.keepPeriod=P1D
trashcan-cleaner.deleteBatchCount=1000
system.content.deleted.cronExpression=0 0 23 * * ?

system.content.orphanProtectDays=2

but when I went to trash can in web interface I saw files from previous year and I couldn't find any entries about trash cleaner in alfresco.log or share.log. Is it supposed to be in another log file? Is it not supported by my alfresco version at all (should be supported starting with 5.2)?

As far as I know the contentStoreCleaner which moves items deleted from trash can to contentstore.deleted is run at 4 am by default, it there a way to reschedule it? The backup takes ages and not always ready by this time.

Hope this helps:

You don't need to use this addon, but all the processes related with document removal are described in the readme file.

Thanks for reply, unfortunately it doesn't help to understand why trashcan cleaner is not working. Contentstore.deleted is not really a problem since it's not included in a backup.

It will be helpful to get some logs configured and observe what's going on. Try configuring below logs :

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.trashcan=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.transaction.RetryingTransactionHelper=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.schedule=DEBUG

Use this config in your log4j.properties file. It will write all the above logs to a separate file so it doesn't mixup other things which will be helpful for you to debug.

#Scheduled jobs logs
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.trashcan=DEBUG,ScheduledJobs
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.transaction.RetryingTransactionHelper=DEBUG,ScheduledJobs
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository=DEBUG,ScheduledJobs
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.schedule=DEBUG,ScheduledJobs

###### ScheduledJobs File appender definition #######
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs.File=/usr/local/tomcat/logs/ScheduledJobsLog.log
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs.Append=true
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ScheduledJobs.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd} %d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] [%t] %m%n

Try running trash can cleaner job via admin console and see what you get.

Where can I find log4j.properties file and where the log4j log will be located?

And one more question if I may what does contentstore folder consists of? I thought it's only sites data, but it's 3 times larger than my sites folder. I have cleaned up trash can manually and I can see those gigabites gone but still sites folder is about 40GB and contentstore 130GB, how so?

Is that module still needed for Alfresco version 7.4 ? Or is there an internal Alfresco mechanism to use ?
