Too Many oragentd_<job id> Log Files are Accumulating

Symptom

I have too many oragentd_<job id>.log files accumulating in the Logs directory. Is there a way to clean it up?

Solution

After completing a backup or restore operation, the oragentd process checks the value of the DAYS_ORAGENTD_LOGS_RETAINED parameter in agent.cfg of the common agent and deletes log files older than the number of days specified. To have a more frequent clean up, change this value and run the caagent update command (as root user). The default value is 30 days.
