I'll see if it continues to get bigger than the SystemMaxUse I set. (Previously it was unset, and there were 3.9GB of logs—essentially in line with the default cap.) | |

| Feb 11, 2020 at 2:55 | comment | added | Ben Johnson | On my system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), SystemMaxUse=1024MB appears in /etc/systemd/journald.conf and is un-commented, but journalctl --disk-usage reports Archived and active journals take up 4.0G on disk. Am I missing something? | |

| Mar 29, 2018 at 13:08 | comment | added | joelostblom | To clean logs after a period of time rather than when they reach a certain size, you can set the parameter MaxRetentionSec instead of SystemMaxUse. See man journald.conf for more details. | |
| May 9, 2015 at 12:56 | comment | added | slm♦ | @michaelbn - the signalling has/had worked for me in the past. I haven't had to do this that often though, so I've incorporated the restart method into the answer as well in case other readers have that same issue as you. | |
